It's got these wonderful lines as you can see. I can sort of feel them with my fingernail. I assume it's done for?

You *could* get it cut and re-treated...But in the context of being economical- I'd go shopping for a replacement. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif

What is it for?

Turbo application, find a new one.

N/A, just have it turned and new bearings.

My friend Kyle (Mavisky) stopped by and it's not as bad as I assumed. Emory cloth and about 20 seconds and they are gone. Pic makes it look worse.

Ignore more minor freak out. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

For my 2g, it's gonna make 250hp at the most.

You can often have the crank polished and they'll be gone. We did the journals on my engine when we built it.

+1 to John^^

I had mine polished and it looked somewhat the same as that when I removed it. It came out great, and it only cost me around $40.

/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/applause.gif Sweet! I thought it'd be an issue if they were deep enough to feel, but if they came out that quickly....GO YOU! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
