Crankshaft work

Knife edging and micropolishing ARE always helpfull.

However they are both very expensive around here.

Knife edging is dandy for high RPM and extreme horsepower setups, as I said. Very popular in the 60s and 70s, before they invented "technology." Haha.

I'd put a windage tray in it, that'll be plenty and its normally a lot cheaper.

Also, if you have it knife edged, you're gonna need to have your whole ensamble balanced, thats pistons, rods, clutch, flywheel so on, so forth.

There's a LOT of things you could do to get more benifit then the knife edging. Not that the knife edging wouldn't help, though for the record several sources aren't sure wheather the power is gained from the lightened crank or the knife edging its self.

There's a lot of nifty things you can do to help yourself out without breaking the bank. I'd reccommend a girdle, though that will get costly. And it doesn't increase power whatsoever.

It simple adds to durability.
