Default RE: Hole in crankshaft snout.

Is the end of the actual crankshaft chipped or cracked? (outside of the threaded portion?).

If it is a small crack or hole, dont worry much about it. But make sure the drive collar fits over it properly and that the prop drive seats properly.

The threaded section of crankshaft does not pass through no way it can leak to the crankcase even if the stud is completely removed. So no threat in that respect.
