Hey ya'll, We already know my crank is cracked, so do I buy a "tagged" used crank or pay a little extra for a new one. Overhaul shop says they have access to a .000/.000 tagged crank at $9k but when I press for details like part # and if the tag predates SB505 I get crickets. Airparts quoted $12k and several months lead time. Not worried about waiting as this is a long term project. Any thoughts on value of having a new crank if my widow has to get rid of this? Any and all thoughts welcome. Engine is an AEIO-360-B1G6 in a factory built certificated Great Lakes.
