    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!

    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.
