Re: Cons of Grinding a crank.. (DarKStaR5)
why would you want to do that? there are alot of cons in grinding down a crank unless you're going to take it to a machine shop that can balance a crank.
not recommended.
if you're doing this to reduce weight, go a different route or get a lighter crank

Well i took my block to be honed and bored, and told them to look over the crank, well when i picked it up today they told me they ground the crank 10/10, I know i have to run oversized bearings, but i was just wondering if it would run any different...?

yeah my philosphy with honda cranks is, if you cant micropolish it and use it, lose it! the nitrided coating from honda is a great hardening process, that combined with forged metallurgy is why our cranks from honda rock
