if you spun a bearing it wouldn't be running....what is the oil pressure? if you have the top end off just pull the engine and pull the pan...as looking by the pistons it had some blowby and the white spot on the 1 valve is odd...and I would also say with valve seals or guides have a fair amount of wear
