How many cranks have you ground personally? I have ground between 3,500 and 4,000. What Tom is telling you is accurate. With a forged crank it is possible to weld the fillet area and regrind the journal. We did it frequently on cranks we couldn’t find a replacement for. Main journals are actually easier to correct than rod journals since you aren’t having to be concerned about getting a rod journal “on stroke”. It’s your crank; if it were me I’d be having a long discussion with the individual who screwed it up to begin with.
