There is a point if it sits in oil. Also there is benefit from it cutting through the mist better. I'm talking 10th's of a second in lap time if your a pro.
But think about it bruce. Are you really going to notice the difference?
Every crank grinder I have talked to about it says not to bother as it is a waste of time and money.
Now even with lightening the crank. I don't know exactly how much difference this is going to make.
Pretty much. I did it becuase it cost me $200 bucks in oil and gaskets just to get the crank out.
I have spend $2000 dollars on engine work so far so whats an extra $200-300 on grinding at this point.
Am I going to notice the difference in the crank after all these mods. Hell NO. Maybe if you did it as a single mod.
I'm putting a head, pistons and crank in at the same time. A day after I'm putting in the cams. I also need to get the carbs tuned for no airbox. There is no way I will tell the difference.
