How to polish a crankshaft! In this video I will show you how to polish V8 crank journals to a mirror finish. I have done this on Honda cranks, Volkswagen cranks, Chevy cranks, and Ford cranks. This method of polishing crank journals has been done for many years. This method can be used to polish cam bearing surfaces, polish valve covers, polish wheels, and any other type of ferrous and non ferrous materials.

Yes machine shops will charge you $50-$100 for a polish which isn’t a lot for most but it is for some and any money saved is more money to put into the build.

This works on 4 cylinders, inline 6,V6, V8, V10, V12
