Crankshafts can be reground rather than replaced outright by the way.

Thanks mate for the suggestion. The seals appear ok. But I did discover copper ring on 1st cylinder injector is toast
I am putting the engine back cleaned with new gaskets, washers, seals etc. Will see if I can see if its oil starvation tomorrow
Fingers crossed it will be fine.
In regards to crankshaft none of rebuild engineering shops do any reconditioning for them. I was told either a donor or new crank...
