Would be great to see to top main bearing shells. If they look in good shape, then it might be more of a detonation problem. The bearing falling out of the cap is usually another sign of detonation. Signs of detonation show up on the bottom main bearings and the top rod bearings. Pull a couple rod caps off and tap the rods down a bit - if the bottom cap looks good and the top rod half has copper showing it pretty well confirms detonation was going on. If you don't see that pattern, then we can go back to wear and alignment.
