So i saw an ad for a Type-R crank....50$, says it needs a micropolish. Figure that is one hell of a deal even if i never use it. Long story short i get there and it looks like he took a chissle to the damn rod journal, even warped the oil galley a little. Told him there was no way and he just asked for a 20, figured i would take a shot.

If worse came to worse could i have the journal welded then ground down?

Im not to good with measurements and numbers but if i had to say i would put the biggest gash at about 1Milimeter.

What do you guys think?

 

wtf is wrong with people. I do feel its scrap metal. but take it to a machine shop and be sure.. but I wouldnt even see this being worth a fix..

 

A crank grinder would charge you probably $200-300 to fix that.

 

...

 

it makes a good paperweight.

 

Its junk.

Never grind a honda crank. They don't last.
