    L 245 crankshaft

    Hi everyone, I found another l245 and it has a spun rod bearing.(according to the seller)This might sound odd but I'm considering buying it. Are crankshafts, bearing kits, gasket sets available at a decent price? When I get bored it costs me money for some reason. Whats up with that?
