6 Bolt Crank

[force_feed]

Hey guys,

I know there has been tons of debates on whether or not you can turn a crank and it hold up and last.

So here is my question. I have a stock crank that the rod journals are in perfect condition. But for some reason 3 main journals look like they got extremely hot! I will post some pictures up a little later.

Is there a limit that the crank can be turned and not suffer the integrity of the crank?
Does that limit effect the main journals?

Thanks!

It's not really a "debate". Mitsubishi -the people who designed and manufactured the crankshafts- say it's a non-serviceable part. When out of spec, replace.

Ah, but we know about DSMers and rules, don't we.
