If I understand this correctly, you mounted your oil cooler to the engine base plate which is setting on Lord mounts, and also to the rear spar carry through?
Sounds sketchy at best, I'd let the oil ... |

Yes, I ran my 690 from 2003 till 2014 on my Mk 3.
Fine running smooth engine especially when I converted to 28mm Mikuni carbs.

Only thing I'd add to what others said is if you go with the 503 use a C or E gearbox with the 3.47 to 1 ratio and the appropriate Warp Drive prop.

.32 is too thick. If you make sheet metal U channel ribs, use .16 or .20 and they'll be light as feathers.

I never use flaps on take off.
I fly from a 600' field but do not have trees at the ends.
I feel the flaps add too much drag for take offs.
I may be wrong.

Now that we've got that straight I'll try the engine again.
The HKS 700e is the reliable proven four stroke engine you seek.

Any good machine shop can rebuild the cranks with new rods and bearings for a fraction of the price of a new crank. The rods and bearings are the only wear items
