What kind of power are you making? Heads alone shouldn't give you bottom end problems.

Just curious..... Why did you replace the crank? How many miles where on the engine when you swapped cranks? Is this a stock crank or an aftermarket?

Standard berings should still work. When you pull apart the bottom end I'd look for another problem.

I agree there are other problems you are not aware of.

That build up is very mild to say the least and you should get 100,000+ on the bearings.
There are other things wrong for sure.
