Help! I need a crankshaft or a complete engine.

Hello there, blew a big end a few months ago. Cost to spray up the journal is pretty steep - does anyone have a spare (! ) crankshaft they would like to sell me? Failing that, a complete engine?
I know, I'm not asking for much!
Thanks, Simon

Can I put a mark 2 TDM 850 crank straight in?

I've got one, but it'll need some work.

I've got one, you will need to check the journals. If you want to pick it up it's free if you can use it.

Thanks MV - I have one too that needs work
Rich, where are you based? Any idea of the journal' condition - likely to be ok or not ? I'm bidding on a mk2 TDM engine at the moment, so will see how that goes in the next few days if that's ok.
thank you both, much appreciated.
cheers
Simon

I would say it would need a grind to be sure, didn't knock when it ran for a couple of minutes, but the inlet cam had picked up in the head - no clearances and the little ends had started to wear
