Default New crank!

Looks like i might be needing a new crank due to heavy scoring the engineer thinks there might no be enough meat left on it to regrind!
Does anyone know the best place to get one?

Thanks!

Some cvh cranks have a radiused big end bearing surface. Personally, I couldn't give a rat's ass if I had that or the other type crank myself.

B1G RST, how do you know there is no wear have you had it measured? But yeah i'll probably have it of you if your happy to post it, and for the right price of course

Does anyone know if you can change the crank without taking the engine out? Haynes says you cant

If i drop the gearbox out I will be able to remove the fly, it's the oil pump side i'm not sure about.
I'm in Sudbury, Suffolk, mate. I use www.interparcel.com would be about Ł8.30 for anything up to 20kg, i've even sent gearbox's for that price all bubble wrapped up!
