crank

I have a crank wheel that the threaded end where the alternator lock nut sits is bent. The easy fix would be to get another wheel, but this is a 533 crank which are pretty scarce here in NZ and the crank has been rebuilt, welded and runs very true. It does not need to be 100% as it will be...

My stepson had the heads rebuilt and has not been able to get the old xs to fire since seems like it should be a timing issue to me.Any ideas this is my first go on these xs's

I am currently looking at a few spare parts as i am a bit of a hoarder...(who doesnt want spoked wheels and 35mm forks) he also has a complete, and fairly clean looking non stuck xs1 motor...now i know the engine wont work in my txa, but i do have spare 447 cases and a bunch o trans parts etc...

Hello.. I have tried to search for information on swapping the 533 crank in a 447 engine, but couldn't find the answer. Is it possible just to put an 533 crank in a 447 engine? Is it a direct swap or are there some difficuties involved? Will I also have to change to cam etc? Thank Lasse
