I ended up ordering a NOS crankshaft for a fairly decent price. Should be here Friday.
I'm looking around for crankshaft bearings now. I'm trying to figure out if the OEM bearings had a C3 internal clearance or not. From my searching so far, it looks like the International ST436 (the OEM bearings) cross-reference to a 6308JEM SKF bearing, which has a C3 internal clearance, but I'm not positive. I can definitely see the argument for greater-than-normal internal bearing clearance (i.e. C3 clearance) on bearings used in an engine due to heat-related expansion, but I'm hoping someone here can confirm!
