hi, i sorta dont know about it cost wise... then again if you can do it at reasonable cost i` would do it. some times you can offset grind a crank. but u can only do this to the max undersize bearings avail able , which i think would be 40 or 50 thou, ( wouldnt be much of a hp improvenent.......) just like conrod bearings for my vn v6, oooppppsss let that bit slip........
