So I've got a used stock crank that I was planning to use for my new build. It looks like the balancer /bolt came loose at one time prior and dinged up the snout.
I initially thought the balancer bolt would hold it tight to the timing gear so I proceed with prep work.
When I finger tight snug up a balancer and timing gear, all is nice and tight, no wobble. But without the bolt the balancer wobbles a bit.
If there is no run out on the tightened balancer, would the crank be ok to use?
A Machinist suggested knurling to increase the snout dia. I didn't want to drop another $200 to get the snout welded and cut to size.
Should I run it, knurl it, sell it, or toss it?
