Crank rebuild specialist?

Post by Red Gauntlet »

The crank on the G5 has noodled the worm drive on the timing side axle so that needs replacing, also the big end will require de-swarfing I expect. Does anyone know a good crank rebuilder?

Alpha bearings have rebuilt my crank. They do appear to be the experts on AMC cranks being as they make most of the bits I thought it a good idea.
