Hi Jim,

In the middle of this web page it shows how I straightened a bent 
crankshaft. Yours will be harder as it's bigger but it will give you some 
ideas hopefully. A dial indicator would be needed to straighten out your 
crank if it is bent.  A cheap dial indicator and magnetic base can be bought 
off Ebay. I picked one up off there and have been satisfied with the 
results.
