I can't believe they didn't check the main bearings in the first place even though that's the reason I took the car there in. I told them the dealer thought the issue was either a rod or main bearing.

I'm getting very impatient with not only how this thing has gone down but also with the shop not being very proactive in their communications.
Has the shop mentioned how they will go about finding the undersized bearing? If the end caps are machined to match the crank, it might be hard to locate one that will match yours.
