Default b16 crankshaft

I have 122, 000 miles on the motor and plan to rebuild it. My question is will the crankshaft if I get it micropolished? because I plan to put lo comp pistons and forged rods and a turbo and boost it to 15 psi

what do you mean, will the crankshaft last with more than 300whp daily driven?

Stock B-series crankshafts have been known to handle 700+ HP.

And??? Thats not crap for a Honda. Plus, its a piece of metal. As long as you don't run it low on oil, it will last forever.

Pm earl for a professional opinion.

He micro polishes and balances cranks. He could give you some prices too.

bearings are absolutely critical though

u should use a std. size i.e. DON NOT MATCH INDIVIDUAL JOURNALS WITH DIFF. BEARING SIZES as honda does from the factory.

u need the extra clearence.

i recomend ACL or clevite
