Your crank is broken into two parts.
By your description, I would say around the second cylinder crank pin.
If you take the lower oil pan off, you may be able to see it.
You also can move the front of the crank in and out and see how much the flywheel moves.

Removing the oil pan is simple enough. I suppose if I average your guys thoughts, I should start with that and leave the top side alone for now.
Due to some "chores" I need to get done I'll likely not get to dig in deep till next week

ALL IN!
