Earl:
  Depending how bad it is, you might also have the option of pulling the
crank
and having it built up by welding, then reground to match the rest.  I only
suggest
this because of the potential difficulty of find such a crank.  I do know of
some
larger KBs in a wrecking yard, though they might have crushed them by now.
How would I tell a GRD-233 from any other IHC 6?  Of course, they'd want
to sell the whole engine, and they are in WA, and you're in ID...
