Are water cooled 1100 crankshafts interchangeable with oil cooled 1100?

Looking to get another crankshaft for my 1991 GSXR 1100. Water cooled cranks are plentiful and cheap - oil cooled not so much. Anyone happen to know if they can interchange? Stroke seems to have increased from 59 to 60 so might get a few more CC's too. It's a new engine build so could account for the stroke difference.

I don't believe so or everyone would be doing it! If the WP cranks are cheap enough, would it be worth buying one for a look-see? A 1mm stroke increase shouldn't be a drama - its the +4 and +5mm stroke increases that need clearance grinding to cases and rods.
