You bent a crankshaft by hitting a stump? That doesn't sound possible.

Happens all the time.  Heavy piece of metal spinniing at 4000 rpm hit imovalbe object, things bend.  Had a tree cut down and stump was higher than I thought, caught end of blade in stump and bent the blade and the crankshaft on the engine.  Gooing to have crank replaced or buy a new engine.  Three year old Honda that I love.  I am sad and my yard is half mowed.

I thought you were talking about a truck. On cars and trucks there's so much more to fail before getting to the crankshaft.
