So it has a Hercules with a busted crank. I'm fairly confident now I can buy a mil surplus continental/white/herc multifuel complete engine to swap in fine but the owner says he striped the engine down with the broken crank and that appears to be the only issue with no damage to any bearings. I'm assuming there is a damper on these motors that went bad leading to crank failure?
I found a mil surplus crank for 400$ but you can get multifuels between 1000 and 2000 pretty reliably it seems. Might be a good way to get rid of some waste oil if I installed it in the 135.
