“Dude. Seriously? You said you wanted to shave weight off the crankshaft with an angle grinder.”

THIS IS A FUCKING GEM!

Well, it’s one of those horrible ideas that is only mostly horrible *in practice*, but sounds so unimaginably shadetree-mechanic-on-meth that it’s horrifying regardless if it works.

This might be our new “blinker fluid”.

Wanna save weight? Bust out the angle grinder and grind down that crankshaft!

And yet, if it corresponded to a move to lighter pistons/rods and a rebalance afterward, it could have a place in Insane Hotrodding On A Budget. Still cheaper than a purpose-built lightweight crank. The only place you’d be screwed is if the extra weight in the crank served some purpose in damping vibration.
