Hi,

Today I was tear down an WBX all parts are in good condition BUT
the crankshaft has been "cut" from the end play shimms.I think it would be repairable (tig weld and grind down??).I never deal with these problems as I simply toss the crank but this one is from a WBX-6 and is nearly impossible to locate a replacement...

Let me what you think!

Rocky : have your deal with this issue ??

Finally!

Today I was send the crank for repair directly to Oettinger.
They charge 450 EUR for the repair (if needs reground they make it STD size again as they are out of oversize main bearings because they never made them!).
