Default Crankshaft repair?

Anyone know of any places that can fix a crank? It has a very small ping in a journal. Callies told me to go to shaftech or something like that to re do the journal...But its almost the same cost of a new crank and 3-4 weeks. any help is appreciated worst case is Ill have to buy another one If anyone has any direction to point me in or whatever Id appreciate it! thanks!

There is no reason to send it to Denver. There are plenty of engine shops here in town that can handle it. Did you call Reher-Morrison in Arlington? Start there....

Then call Bud Morgan at Morgan and Sons then call Hans Fuestel.

If they can't handle it call me and I'll give you a couple more local shops to call.
