well he called me today
to say the front is bent between #1 and #3 mains so
I asked if he could straighten it but he prefered to
cut it

I'm a little confused. How will cutting it straighten it? All I'm seeing happening is you will have a bent crank that will turn freely in your engine

once it's ground it'll run true to the centerline. when grinding a bent crank, both the rods and mains get ground to effectively make ALL the journals run true again. the balance on that should be checked again also.
