he didn’t say why he is replacing the bearings, if he is just replacing them for maint then it is no big deal. my engine was knocking really bad but the bearings did not spin and damage to the crank was minimal. Its not like
he is building a race car here and if it will get him another couple years out of it then just do it.

i understand that. if it is for pure maintenance, then go for it. but i still wouldnt recommend taking it on solo.
also, my sarcastic comments weren’t directed towards the author of the thread, they were towards the guy saying “hey, i didnt have my crank machined, so nobody needs to have their cranks machined”.
