The motor may have been rebuilt before. If so, in order to properly clean the oil galleries in the crank, one must drill those out and replug them afterwards.

Have someone make sure its balanced for sure. If it balances out as is....go with it.

Yes, second crank has had some work done to it. No biggie as long as it's straight and balances out.
