ohhhhh that is horrid bad..... "to the threads !"
the rebuilt crank will be ground and needs all new bearing shells.
adds to cost. (and tests, labor)
if you had a good core, a regrind is a fraction of that $450.
BUYING CRANKS FROM 4wd shops is like huge markup.
100 core
100 grind
250 to put it in pretty box.
see below:
16v but they do 8v too. some are same exact crank. (rods and pistons are different)

when searching, do suzuki sidekick and tracker, same G16a
for sure, finding a good core in texas, that be hard.
one way is to post a WTB on craigs
wanted to by Suzuki/sidekick-Tracker engine crank,running or not.
then us 17mm wrench to see if core is ok.
that is what i did to find a block , not cracked,,,, hard it was to find one....
a real machine shop can do magic.
they can weld , remachine it and tape it.
this is how rear cars like 1935 ford or chevy are kept going. car with rare part.
the G16 is also in the ESTEEM, (use that too in searches)
good luck in your , project !!!!
got one from rock too
once

came from big , top Florida, rebuilder.
one way to find it to call all top builders. (cranks) some have cores, if do, might be low price
many sellers know that the cores are rare now. and charge for that......
many G16 engines are now melted. now turned in to beer cans..
sad, but true.
got machines shops in Longview??????
walk in to each,
hand crank to top guy (gun)
the only big problem
is crank material.?
if cast iron, welding is near impossible on this material, and ive no clues as to what the metal. is here...
force steel is best. but rare. and most easy to rework.
