OUCH!

My friend and I pulled off the HB & pulleys only to find that the crankshaft is toast. The inside of the HB had no keyways, only a worn-out ring inside, where they used to be.

At this point I am weighing my options regarding the replacement of the crankshaft versus finding another motor. I'll post some photos later so that you can all share in my pain.

Any thoughts on proper crankshaft replacement procedure? Assuming the crank is bad, what else would indicate a trashed bottom end?

What else should I do to the bad boy one it's out, opened up, and lying on the operating table?

Anyone know of a good source for motors in the southern California area?
