what is wrong with yours? spun bearing?
even d16 cranks are becoming scarce.

i broke the pulley/balancer bolt, but I found a shop that can remove the broken pice n fix the threads.
where do u think I can get replacement bearings from? I threw mine out when they machined my block.

thnx for the help man.
