Nothing wrong with a PROPERLY MACHINED "reman crank".
Given a choice, I'd rather supply a usable core to my favorite automotive machinist, and let him grind it for me. I have a basic distrust of "production-line" reground cranks.
At least verify that they've left a decent filet radius on the journals, and it spins smooth 'n' easy in the block before you put the rods on it.
I gotta say, I'm concerned about the rod you're saying is out-of-round. I think you need to take care of that before you bolt it around a crank journal.
