I have already "been there, done that" w/o any luck, but I do appreciate the reply. Repairing this crank is not an expense I want to entertain. I am hoping that someone out there has a engine that the bore is shot, but still has a good crank that they may want to part out.
For anybody interested, here are the #'s of my engine:
Model = 130232
Type = 0036-01
Code = 7309627
Depending on where you search the OEM Briggs crank # is either 260958 or 397093
