First- Recently i crashed my plane with a O.S. 46LA and destroyed my plane. Upon further inspection of the engine i found the smallest, smallest bend in the crankshaft up from the point where the threads end on the engine. i have rotated the engine by hand and it rolls smooth as ever. Is this a problem?

P.S. i basically already know the answer ( its a problem) but i am just checking with the vast knolage on rcu to make myself 100% sure.

Question two- Will this http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...&I=LXCH46&P=OW work as a replacement crank?

I'd let Flyboy Dave try to straighten it first.

Good question. Tower lists that as the replacement crank for your engine, so i would A S S U M E it is correct.
