Replacing flywheel pins w/o engine dimantling

I need to replace my flywheel. The pin holes on the crank and the flywheel
are oval.

Can I fixed this w/o disassembling the engine?

If I need a need flywheel , I'll spend the money. But I don't want to take
apart the engine right know.

Are there repair kits available?

if the flywheel and crank are ovaled then the mating surfaces are
likely FUBAR as well. Proper repair would be a new crank and
flywheel.There are many half assed methods of "fixing" this problem.
Some last longer than others. None are a correct repair. If you insist
on doing it wrong, you could buy an 8 dowel jig and drill four more
holes. Your hand drill will walk some...and the fit of the dowels will
not be as tight as they need to be. You can do better by then reaming
all 8 holes to 11/32 and installing oversized dowels. Ream the
fllywheel and crank as one unit. Reaming to size will leave a much
tighter fit than drilling ever will. As added precaution use a quality
chromoly gland nut and increase the torque to ~400 ft/lb. DO NOT try
and torque that high on anything but a good quality chromoly nut, or
you WILL shear it.
