Honda cranks are already micropolished.

They are also balanced from the factory... (not high speed, but balanced at like 6K)

It'll cost around $100 to balance and the same for micropolishing

I've seen as much as $300, but I wouldn't knife edge a stock crank on a street car.

just so you know, when you balance a crank you dont spin it faster than 500 rpm's. The whole reason to "balance" the crank comes from the different weight from different pistons, rods, etc. that is now on the crankshaft.
