Look here (youtube.com) at 46:37. Notice the intense white metal welded to the crank... Its likely the steel inner core is what was welded together from the heat. However the distinct white color traces of the babbitt can be seen on the damaged crankshaft.

This is from a '23 3.4L Twin Turbo Tundra. Babbitt metal on the bearing surface, transferred to the crankshaft.

They do apply a fine coat of babbet to some. But again no wonder the Toyota motors are failing :0
