Try Just Engines in the UK he might have a new cankshaft: www.justengines.unseen.org/

It appears Tower has very few ST parts now.

Also try contacting www.RCIgnition.com
Ralph Cunningham does a lot of this type of work on gassers and may be able to do the same for your big ST.

Default Bent crank

Usually any good small engine machine shop can straighten your bent crank.
