Better than just throwing it away.

I think Mr Baker's response of "Nil" sums it up having hit the end a
few times with a lump hammer this afternoon.

I guess it's now down to the economics of the cost of a new crankhaft
(+ engine gasket/seal set) , a new/refurb engine or a new mower...
Anyone any idea of the costs of those?

At least with the last two options I'll have this engine for spares,
it's only run for about 30hrs. Was new last year, changed the oil at
the end of last season (black) and after half a dozen or so runs this
year it's still lovely and clean when I dip it. B-(
