There are small nicks like that on each rod journal (1 on each), the crank has been micro-polished and inspected by a local respected engine machinist, so I am trusting his opinion when he says these are minor, however I just want to feel better about them. There are no jagged edges to them, and nothing that I can see that would scar the bearing (nothing you feel as you run your finger over them) .. your thoughts please!

its a good idea to almost always trust your machine shop guy.

 

i dont see how that could cause any problems , but im not an expert

 

Not a problem at all.The rod bolts probably hit it when it was disassembled.I see this way to often but is never a problem after micro polishing.

wouldn't worry about it if it's mirco polished.
