Default bad crank?

i tore apart my blaster....thought i just needed a topend. but it looks like a spacer on the left side of the rod came out and siezed it... but i pulled it out and its not locked up anymore...but theres play in the rod where that spacer was...so does this mean i need a new crank since theres play?

you need to look REALLY CAREFULLY at the crank (with a magnifier if needed) and use a lot of light. you are looking for carnage between the inside surface of the crank and the sides of the rod. since u only lost 1 only 1 side of the rod should be worn. move the rod to one side and look for grooves worn into the crank web and look for a record pattern or "mini racetraks" on the sides of the rod. If the damage isnt more than a few thousandths, get a new bearing and spacers and have someone press em in
