I have a B18C1 crank that I want balanced and micro polished. I know most machcine shops can do it, but I'd rather send it to a place that specializes in Honda/performance work. I am in NorCal if that makes a difference. How much should I expect to pay? $100-200?

 

Journals on Honda cranks are already micro-polished.
Take it to a Machine shop that does crankshafts a lot, but any machine shop that can balance a crankshaft can do it. Crankshafts are all the same, except the Honda ones come nitrided, micro-polished, and pretty much balanced already.

 

Thanks.. maybe I'll skip this step after all. Doesnt sound like much of a performance gain.

 

if you microolish your crank it will throw a bearing not allways but better chance of throwing it becasue your using afrtermarket bearings

 

who said anything about aftermarket bearings? polishing a crank does not mean u need to change ur bearings... u should check all the clearances though
