I have a crankshaft off a Honda Vision that was moving OK until I left it exposed to the elements (had the head off) for a few weeks and it got rusted.

I've stripped the engine and taken it out and can't get the big end to move, even after soaking it in 2-stroke oil.

Is it worth getting the big end re-pressed and then polishing the crud/rust off the crank (£20-25) or shelling out for a new crank (£80)?
