Hi folks! I just brought home a XS from '80. Its a Standard with two disc brakes. The problem is that the PO has (maybe) broken the crankshaft end where the rotor sits.
His story: The woodruff key was loose and broken the slot the woodruff key sits in. And maybe the crankshaft end. It got lines in it and a shop has told him it needs a new crankshaft.
My idea (and hope) is that its only broken for the stock charging system, but not broken if I use Hughs PMA.
Can anybody (or Hugh) tell me if it will work with a PMA or do I need to split the cases and change the crankshaft? If its broken I may want to try to build a rephased engine.

Thank in advance!
