I wonder why it is rusted there. There should not be water there. Anyhoo, it looks like the rust is above the seal wipe area. Unless there is something I’m not seeing, I’d use it.

Like Frank says, that rust won’t affect anything if the seal doesn’t ride there. You can just put the crank back in the block with the bearings located properly, then lightly screw the block halves back together to see exactly where the upper seal rides.

You might be able to turn the seal around to get the lip to run on good smooth steal! they will work either way. Your only talking about a few pounds of pressure in that crankcase.

Better not risk it, I’m sure you can find another decent crank for not much money

One will turn up, perhaps at an aomci swap meet. You may end up buying a whole powerhead or “scrap engine” if the price is right
