no, like seriously... the crank and case bearings need to be accurate to within a very small fraction of a MM. i would have to fully assemble the engine with plastigauge on the current crank, hope its extremely close already so that the plastigauge will actually measure correctly (it wont be) pull everything apart and buy new, correctly sized crank bearings (like 100$ minimum) then reassemble and check again with the new bearings. if its not perfect, you get to buy another set of bearings and you can't return the previous set. cranks+rods by themselves sell for around 250... the case sells for 150ish by itself... there is really no sense at all in trying to replace the crank without keeping its paired up case and bearings. when you can get a complete bottom for around 300... i mean... if you want to **** around with an engine for a few weeks, by all means... if you want it to simply work again so you can get back to riding.......
