Re: experienced engine builders only.

what are the side effects of re-grinding cranks? I know they get slightly weaker.

Goat blower, logically, if you spun a bearing on a turned crank, how can you blame it on the machine work?

I get the impression that turned cranks get weaker, and the side effect is broken cranks.

If nobody has had turned cranks crack and break on them, then I am going to have the crank re-ground for ~$100

Last I checked 6-bolt 4g64 cranks go for upwards of $300, unless I can find a motor in a junk yard. (good luck with all you fuckers picking the junk yards bare, I know, I checked 6 months ago)
