Can either of you read & understand a Service Manual?
Can either of you turn a wrench?
If you answered "YES" to both these questions...pull the motor yourself and ship the bottom end to RevPerf.
I posted a link to their site earlier in this thread.
Have RevPerf disassemble the case, repair the crank.
While they're in it, might as well make it bulletproof, right?
Have them install the Timken upgrade.
Let them do the complete job on the bottom end.
Disassemble
True Crank
Install Timken
Reassemble
Install Seals
Install Cam Bearings
It looks like he could get this complete job done for around $1500
When you get it back, build the motor yourself.
That is, IF you and your buddy can read & understand a Service Manual and turn a wrench.
These motors are NOT rocket science.

Friend with a '99 RK had a slipped flywheel, did not find it until he had to replace engine mounts, vibrated horribly. He decided to go to 103 with upgrade crank, upgrade heads and all, $6600 at indy; all parts, all labor, all machine work and dyno tune when done. Indies guarantee 1 year 20k miles.

BadPiggy is tellin you straight. Do your own mechanicing, its a great learning experience and you'll have just cause to hang out with your buddy. A complete motor build from the crank up aint a "buget build", even if you do all the wrenchin yourself. Postpone until he has the money, buy a crate motor, settle for a lesser build, or proceed with that questionable crank. Sorry Bro, there just isnt a cheap way out of this one.
