Anyone know if replacing a bent crankshaft on a Honda lawnmower engine is a
do-it-yourself project?

(By the way, the mower is a lousy mulcher, but it is too new to consider

you can't hurt it nownow, your engine is shot. if you have lots of time and
some Small Engine Repair manuals and feel adventerous, you could probably
repair it yourself ... if the crank shaft is bent you might end up having to
replace the whole crankshaft if you have to regrind it too much. .
