Crank bearings

[Superjet1000]

Is there any reason why I can't turn my front crank bearing around.
Want to put a new locator pin in a different spot and still have the oil hole lined up.

Why are you wanting to do this? Drill a new locator pin spot in the bearing?

Pin flogged out in the case!
Thought I could turn the bearing then re drill the case and put a new locator pin in.
This way the oil hole would line up.

Oic, no, you need to remove the pin from the case and re-installed, it's a pain, but is possible. There was a thread about this issue just the other day.

Dowel hole is flogged out.

I was going to just re pin it any old place as the OEM bearings don't even line up with the oil holes from factory.

Then I thought I'd just turn the bearing as well so I can line up the oil hole.

What do you mean flogged out? I assume you ment it has been pressed flush into the case.

Pin hole is excessively worn, sorry for the slang.
Jobs done now, couldn't turn the bearing as it made the locator too close to the inner edge.
Just re drilled an re pinned 5 mm to the side then put a small trench to join the lube hole.

That's certainly a viable repair. Also your description " flogged out" was not too bad. US slang might have been: "pin hole was jacked up", now that really does not explain things.
