iirc minisport used to charge about £60 for l/b bottom end on 4 stroke. most machining places wont charge that much....as for knife edging.....why??? not as tho the crank is having to cut thru the oil as in old skool xflows/a series etc.

Mat browns sorted me a complete head cheers needs to be a Williams as opposed to a valver

so you wouldn't recomend knife cutting the bottom end, i see what you mean as it won't be sat in oil, so what about lightening it.? or is that not worth it either.?
