This isn't sarcasm... I honestly want to understand the logic.

Add me to this list. If the journal was ovalled due to oil pump failure and crank seizure, it seems like there would be more collateral damage to the engine than just ONE area. Since it ran that way for 15K afterwards and then ran at highway speeds on a return trip home with a broken crank

I'd expect there to be other hidden goodies waiting to ruin your day once the new crank goes in.
I'd be personally drawing the line on this engine and sourcing a good 2nd hand one. If the engine were truly special, it'd be sent off to an engine rebuilder and gone through since it's being taken down that far, but 603's aren't really anything special all things considered.
