Xavier,

Do yourself a favor and pull your engine and replace all your bearings now. My guess, your rings are fine but take a good look at your crank to see if you have any bluing or dark areas where your rods connect. If so have your crank turned and polished. This is a cheap pre-caution at this point. Given the heat your engine obtained I would certainly do this.

Cherry Picker $50 rental
Main Bearings $60
Rod Bearings $60
Machine Crank $100
Gaskets $120
Engine Stand $100

Feeling that your engine is not going to seize up in 50 miles ... PRICELESS!!
