with engine running, place the flat tip of the screwdriver directly against the engine block just where the bearings are, place your ear directly on the handle end of the screwdriver...repeat up and down the crankshaft at each bearing location...you will hear the bearing rolling clear as day...should sound smooth and consistant...if there's a bad one, you'll hear it...
