NEVER KNIFE EDGE A CRANKSHAFT

You think you or a machine shop knows more than the OEM ENGINEERS?

HEHE

Patrick, you should never knife edge a crank unless it is a RACE ONLY car (meaning you rebuild the motor every 10 passes at the track)

i dont believe in knife edging a honda crank at all! They come from the factory perfect already! knife edging will take away from the meat of the crank lessening the life of the crank!

[southside]

yea Knife edging isnt to safe and I dont know too many machine shops that do it.Scotts down in fayetteville can micropolish it for you

[JDMB20]

okay i guess iwont get it knife edge wat is the next best thing to do to it while its out
since i dont want to rebuild it every 10 passes thanks mike for the warning!!!
so is micro polishing better or just clean it up and put it back in

[Vteckidd]

balance the crank, rods, pistons together as a unit

Chamfer the oil passages

thats it

[JDMB20]

alright is ther any shop that you TRUST around here to do it or a place to send it off to that you TRULY TRUST!!!

i jsut want to do wat Mr.kidd siad b/c the car is driven and beaten on evryday

[SPOOLIN]

i saw a "knife edged" crank once on a guys car, it spun every mainbearing after 30 minutes of driving, LOL. that crank was TOAST

oem b series cranks are proven to hold 1000+ hp, leave it alone, and polish it. Done.
