you can buy over size acl's they arent all the "universal" ones anymore.

and yes you can just machine the journals to set your clearances. if you arent a large shop that builds tons of motors its a hell of a lot cheaper to buy one set of bearings and set your clearances were you want them after.

After hearing a few other opinions of personal use Ive went with ACL race.. great deal too 75 for whole set.

So, Anyone have an opinion on turning cranks? From a few engine builders i've heard speak, they have said that turning a honda crank is probably not the best idea due to the nitrate coating being lost and losting some strength on the journal? Any input there?

I've cut down a crank before with .10 over bearings, and never thought about any other coating other than oil.

I have used multiple turned cranks and never had a problem, but just recently was told that there was a nitrate coating on honda cranks that is lost after turning. Just wondering if that was an issue in extreme conditions.

The crank never touches anything.
