I give to experience but I just don't have the time nor want risk a modified repair on a customer's machine.

And Max is right the older worn crankshaft will in the new engine but why be so penny pinching on a good piece of equipment. It does cost that much to install the correct parts; unless, it is that hard to get them. Yes I understand things are over expensive in your neck of the woods but they getting just as expensive here too. Shipping fees has nearly double in the last year along parts costs.

But course I have seen some of the makeshift that Aussies do like this one.
