Damn Johnny, sorry to hear about your luck man. How many miles are on the motor? I think grinding them down won't really do much good. It may prolong the motor a little longer, but you would definently be better off putting a 6 bolt in.

I'm curious to see if anybody's had any good luck with the aftermarket crankshafts. If I'm not mistaken, Eagle (not the "now defunct" automobile brand , but the engine parts company), makes a crankshaft for our car.
