That much end play is probably not from wear of the bearing. It is probably 
due to the #1 main bearing becoming loose in the case, although it might be 
due to a poor rebuild where they left out a shim to keep the end play from 
being too tight, or they just did a rebuild using stock OD bearings in a case 
that has seen hard use and should have been align-bored for oversize 
bearings.

It might be a good core, but my guess is that it needs a proper rebuild to be 
reliable.
