knife edging a crank shouldn't decrease torque. you are lightening rotational mass, the car should revv quicker, and have less fluid friction against the air at high rpms.

yes you will lose tourque because of the "rotalional mass" just think is you get an ultra light weight flywheel do you not loose tourque
gotta go to a shop with experience they will know the ammount that can be shaved and you will see maximum performance
ie equal balance of tourque and quicker revs

You lose inertia, not torque.
Knife-edging a Honda crank is pointless since the crank doesn't actually spin through the oil bath. Lightening would show benefits similiar to a lighter flywheel or wheels, though.

Re: (Daemione)
remember people torque is the force exerted at a distance beyond the axis of rotation (the crank). No torque is produced directly at the crank its all produced by the angle of the rods and the distance they travel as they descend on the power stroke. so you entire assembly could weigh 2 pounds and assuming it could hold up if its built the same as your motor the only difference will be the amount of energy needed to start & keep it in motion. hope this helps some

thank you for getting that right
