Crank Options!!!

[nickclubman]

Just whipped the crank out of my hunter engined 1724cc block and the big end bearing on cylinder 2 is fubared.
This has scored the crank, and hopefully this will grind out. The crank is standard, and the bearings go up to plus 40 so fingers crossed.
If the crank is bug*gered what are my options.
I do have a 1500 crank, is there anything I can do with this so that it can be used in the 1725???
If not does any one have any suggestions on where to get a replacement from???

The 1725 has a longer stroke so that must mean a different crank to the 1500:I
You would be very unlucky for the scoring to be in excess of .040" on a standard crank (a hacksaw blade is about .025"), I think you'll be OK.
