[tech]: help! moving timing

[rapieper@yahoo.com (Ron Pieper)]

Any good machinist certainly could install a keyway into the crank. 
Once they figure out how to hold and locate the crank - not that tough
-it's just a matter of using the desired keyslot cutter.  I'd reckon a
decent automotive machine shop could do this.

BTW, a weld repair + grind to finish size + install new keyslot is not
out of the question either.  It just may cost more than a replacement
crank.
