Continental has quit making crankshafts for the C75/85. Many are ground to max allowable undersize. The only viable option is to use a 0-200 crank at overhaul and at this point you are not too far from having a 0-200 engine. I suspect more and more 415 C's with a 0-200 will be showing up in the future. JMO. Mike
