I'm going to continue the route of reusing my old crank even though it has to be ground a whole 1mm down. But in the meantime, if someone has a 1.8L crank they want to get rid of for a reasonable price (<$200) I'd be interested. Wear is ok only if it is not ground down prior to the damage. I've got a machine shop that can grind the bearings down for $100.

 

If you happen to be traveling up towards DC I just had a spare fall in my lap. I don't think I'll be using it. As far as I know it has not been previously machined and looks intact.

 

I have one I can ship, but it’s been ground down .25. It was barely ran on race bearings and I didn’t like the oil analysis. would polish it and run non-race bearings on it.

 

PM’d both of you, still open to offers if someone is closer to the Knoxville/Tri-cities TN
