We have now torn down your engine and it looks as if we can save your crankshaft. In fact, other than the galling on the nose of the crank, the engine is in great shape.

With this engine, the balancer spun on the nose of the crank, causing some pretty significant damage. Our first task will be to tear the engine down and establish whether the crank is still serviceable. More news on that later this week.
