Hi Brian, can you tell me more about resizing rods? I'm pretty confident the crank can be restored. A shop near my house commonly welds/grinds/polished damaged crank journals. Of course, buying a new crank for $500 isn't ridiculous either.
However if the rod is worn too large, I don't think it can be repaired? Can they weld additional material inside? The fiche doesn't show any oversize bearings available, so it would need to be honed to original diameter (50.00) in order to keep the correct gap. I'll try measuring it with a caliper tonight for a rough idea.
