Rebuild cranks or just get new ones?

[OCD Solutions]

I now have two used cranks on the shelf and wonder what to do with them. I've been keeping them for cores but most hotrod cranks I've seen don't require cores.

Yamaha 701 - I bought a Hotrod crank last year and just replaced the original as part of a routine rebuild. The original still turned nice and is now wrapped in plastic in the hotrods box, ready to go out. Junk, rebuild or sell for core? I really don't need a backup crank for this machine...dammit... now I will for sure!

Seadoo 951 - Lost connecting rod bearings only on the mag side, everything else is good. Send for rebuild or just get a Hotrod crank?

Is it more cost effective to send them out for rebuild or just buy new ones?

SBT may buy them for cores. Not too sure what they pay. They always have that ad up wanting to buy cores. I emailed them once, never got back to me. I PM'd Steph and she checked into it. They didn't want any Kaw 650 or 750 cranks... great, looks liek these will go to the scrap yard...
