Hi
Are you sure it's a Sprite engine? As far as I know the A30/A35 were
powered by the same type of engine, but a little smaller. The crankshaft
is not the same, the bearing journals are a little smaller. Anyway, you
should be able to grind it and use oversize bearings. But you need to
take it apart and examine the damage first.
