Is it worth Polishing/ Reworking my LT1 crank Journals by hand or should I just get it machined?

Reason why is that one of my rod bearings has the Hour glass affect and grooved pretty good and the other bearings are pretty grooved too...

I know everyone is gonna say "well get a new crank". Well I wish I could. Trust me if I could, I'd be going with a stroker kit.

Yup that is true :thumbsup

Unless you go bigger than 383 its not worth the stupid amount of cash to go stroker. Snatch up that lt4 crank and call it a day. Use that ridiculous amount of cash for the stroker kit and put it towards a rear end and trans. :thumbsup
