I can get them done for about $75.
You'd have to ship it to me and then back to you.
Probably $10-15 each way.
Is it VW or Chevy journal?

If you are on your second crank already, something is wrong. This should not me happening. You might want to take the time needed to find out where your oiling problem lies. Once you figure it out, you should be able to get some trouble free service life out of your stuff.

I hate to see a man go from a 2332 to a 1641 i have a 2332 that is 12 years old never had any problems other than freshing it up a time or too i think you have rod clearance problem I size my rods to my crank for the right clearance

I agree something is not right in the motor. You should have no more problem with a 2332 than you would with a 1641.
