    Engines NC13E-1200001 through to NC13E-1400001 should suit!

    Why ? In my experience, they're worth fixing just cos of scarcity.
    I've rebuilt two that spun bigends without damaging the shaft so unless you've dropped a valve, it's doable...

    And for those of you reading who own one, sooner or later you'll do a bigend....the oil holes are badly finished IMO.

    Truth be told I haven't pulled it apart and inspected it myself, just been told it wouldn't be worth the hassle.. and I figured they're likely rarer than unicorn shit
    Ran it dry of oil cause I'm an idiot, maybe it's worth pulling the crank out this weekend and seeing just how bad it really is.

    You might be lucky, shells are available. Whatever the final heat treatment/surface finish on these cranks is, it makes them more tolerant of abuse than others I could mention.

    Answered fully by PM - but basically no due to health reasons.
