With all due respect for your pops, I wouldn´t even be driving the car if the bearings were making noise. One a bearing is gone, there is no two months about it, it´s gone now. And driving it around is just goin to make more problems and a more expensivae repair later on. the bearings are the only thing protecting your crank from getting damaged, and with a thrown bearing, you are going to at least scratch it up, or worst case scenario, break it. Scratches can usually be machined out, but that cost money. I guess if you have enough money to throw at a new crank, new rods, and possably a whole new block, by all means, run that baby to red line and give it hell. You only live once, and whats life without liveing through an engine siezure. But if you want you stuff to last till Sept, you might want to start riding a bike, or bumming rides from friends.
