This is quite hard on the type 1 engine, because it has no way to 
suck in cool air to cool itself. It will constantly overheat and 
eventually die.

You are better off getting your type 3 engine apart and fixed, but if 
you really have that much crankshaft end play, your case is shot 
and you will need a replacement. You should consider looking for a 
decent used engine instead of rebuilding this one.
