so when i took my 044 crank and case to the local mechanic(mostly works on cars but does small engine repair) he told me my crankshaft was junk because theres some bluish tint to the copper on the clutch said it got to hot, the cranks seems fine i dont see any warping it still spins nice no vertical play only slight side to side, now i was just curiouse if i could still use it because im having a hard time finding 10mm cranks, the only one i came across they wanted 85$ used, i dont wanna buy a new/used one if i can re-use this one but i also dont wanna put this back in if it will ruin my saw i trust and value everyones advice here so i thought i would just ask you guys for a second opinion.View attachment 213401View attachment 213402View attachment 213403View attachment 213404
