More likely the thrust main bearing in the engine is worn and allowing the
crankshaft to move back and forth.
The center (#3) main bearing has the thrust surface and can sometimes be
replaced when worn but often it digs a groove in the crankshaft thrust
surface which requires engine removal to repair.
