Default having the crank turned...

when u have the crank turned dont you need different size bearings? On a low milage motor can you get away with having it micro polished? i want to make sure everything is balanced for my ls-vtec build. sorry for the lame questions

Getting a Honda crank reground is a last resort,and not a very good one.If it's damaged or out of spec,just get another one.

you need to get undersized bearings witch are thicker to compensate for the reground crank.....would very very thoroughly clean out the oil passages when you get it back
