Brand new Renix Crank?  I doubt that, the engine was only used for 3 years and that was 20 years ago.  NOS is LONG past.

did you ask the mechanic if and why would need to be turned (i'm not saying is not needed but doesn't hurt to ask) - he should be able to tell you how much off it is, if it's oval or scratched and if so i would go back to the guy that sold it to you.

Talked to the machinist and he said the crank is fine, polish it up and put new bearings on it.
