Oddly the motor still ran and idled smooth and quietly, it felt a little down on power then really didn't like a load on it, so I towed it home and pulled the pan to find sparkly oil and slivers in the oil picks. I'd planned to do the RBs soon when I got some free time, glad I didn't now, that would have sucked. Of what I can see the crank looks good, just won't know until I get the motor out and pull the bed plate.
I'm afraid to say that if no1 main has spun, the crank won't be ok, nor likely the block .
Sorry to hear about your engine (I'll add it the blown engines list).
What year is your car btw?
