Default S2 Crankshaft

I have heard of a lot of people spinning cylinder 2 rod bearings, somehow i spun rod 1. regardless i am looking for a 3 liter crank if anyone has any leads i would greatly appriciate it. i am working on a budget though so the dealerships $3800 is out of the picture im located in texas but nothing is out of the picture, i have a buddy in Germany looking for me so shipping would be great means of transport, as well as pick up. Thanks to all.

It's not really for sale but I'd let mine go for $1k. I'm located in the SF bay area.

why not have the crank ground and repolished and run an oversize bearing and save some cash?

I took it to a few machine shops and local specialists (the crankshaft) due to the wear, which they say isn't horrible, they Belive I should replace it. They would have to weld, grind, and polish it. I also am going to have to replace the rod due to wear it looks as if the bearing damaged it prior to the crank. There is bearing build up on the crank, well just a little.

I also have a set of 4 rods from the same S2, I'd be willing to sell a single one if you wanted it as well.

Is it in good shape, does it need to be turned, polished? Or ready to install?

You were probably asking about steve944online's crank, but in case you were asking about mine, it is nice and ready to install. Motor was good, the car got wrecked.

Well I appreciate it everyone I purchased that one catamax944 linked me to. Should be here tommorow. I will need rods though but for now I'll have no choice but to hold off.
