Crankshaft Questions

[NateN34]

Hey,

Have some quick questions about an ATC 200 crankshaft. These are most likely stupid questions, but please bear with me.

First question: Rust on the crankshaft. Seems to be minor pitting on the end that connects to the stator. See image:

Is this fine? Worth removing and if so, how?

Second Question: I was originally planning on getting new bearings, con-rod and crank-pin rebuilt on this crankshaft. I already have all of the parts for the shop, but everything seems really solid.. I mean there seems to be absolutely no play in any bearings or anything else. Would you still recommend rebuilding the crankshaft?

Lastly: If getting the crankshaft rebuilt, is it worth it to also have the timing sprocket replaced too?

Thanks in advance,
Nate

Since you have the crank out already I would rebuild it and yes replace the timing sprocket , most of the time it gets damaged when removed anyway .
Rust ..... no biggie unless its were the seals ride .
