Ya that is definitely expensive but not entirely surprising.
My mechanic brother-in-law has worked with Ontario Crank Services in Orillia, which is about the same distance from me as Wolfe Worx. Either way I'll be taking the crank to one of these two shops and will be expecting an expensive repair so time to work on plan B, which would be a replacement crank.
I did have quite a bit of metal shavings in the oil and wonder if it was the shavings that killed the bearing, or if it was the strain on the engine caused by trying to start it with the camshaft flipped 180 degrees on the first reassembly. I hear strain on the engine can cause the inner bearings to fail so I can imagine this might have contributed to the failure.
