That would have me worried.

I have heard it was a balancing hole the wasn't centered when it was drilled.

As long as the crank and rod journals are clean I think it will be fine. You might want to see if it's cracked down farther, magnaflux. Also, clean the break so that it'll stop from craking in the future by rounding it out. Talk to a local machinist for their thoughts too.

maybe you should just go to honda and tell them that your crank was like that and they should replace it. that is a manufacturer's defect and shouldn't be like that. there is no sense in playing with faulty equipment. there won't be anything good coming out of that if it decides to break inside your block.

o would never run that in my car there is no crazy problems you will have other than it being off balance and the crank acually breaking. man ls/crv cranks from honda are 900 new so find one used or scream at acura/honda.

I have tried tons of places for b20 cranks. NO ONE has them.

You aren't looking hard enough, try the H-T classifieds or thepartstrader.com etc....

if its a b20 crv motor then that means it uses a crank thats identical to the LS

HXMan

Yes, b20b/z crank = b18a/b crank.

drifter

just get a used b18b/a motor from someone in thepartstrader

I have 2 bone stock 1997 LS cranks sitting in the garage, let me know

Are you just straight B20? Or B20VTEC?

Have you considered a B20A crank?

275Performance

I am going b20vtec.

B18C-EJ1

Ok, nevermind then. Your r/s would go to crap.

Thats normal. Lots of cranks like that.

Won't affect reliability at all...unless stock CRv's from the dealer are unreliable?

its normal...dont worry.

Good question though...
