That is (supposedly) the one place- Marine Crankshaft in CA- repairing them "properly": http://www.marinecrankshaftinc.com/outboard.html

Why bother fixing.....A good used one is $200....end of story.....I don't see any Lancia V6 cranks as lamps....They were art work....... 5cly audi?

You’d be 500 into it for Marine Crankshaft to fix and it’ll still be a repaired crank. Just find another one. That one is junk

Hey dave. u got any 2.5 top guide rods? Fishin rods?

**Dave S** · 02-06-2020, 12:47 AM

Merc 2.5.....a small nick is ok.... for a fissing or hand granade.....If ya use the old Big rods it will hold up case's them rods are close to bullet proof.....but stick a piston and they will beat a block to bits.....Yes.I have rods........Sorry I never got back to you about carbs......that happens in Daves world........

Forget fixing! Find another crank and make that one a nice lamp with custom bearing surface!......

Also as stated, check your oiling check valves are working properly and clean.

x2 Tony i have a clear hose i put on the bottom to top bearing oiling hose to see if its oiling then replace it with new stuff, rods are just as dangerous if that cap aint perfect i never used it i ve seen many rod bearings that cage hung on the mismatch and bearing started skidding ruining crank and soon the rest of the assembly

Amen Bobby! I use yellow Tygon with small tie wraps on all bleed. I also always replace the top & bottom bearing plus cap seals top& bottom no matter how good they may look.
