CB500/550 / Pitted journal and bearing
« on: December 30, 2016, 05:31:59 PM »
Merry holidays to all
I've been slowly getting ready to reassemble my engine, but the more you look the more you see. So I noticed this pit (possibly due to corrosion) on the #4 rod journal which snags on my nail.

Is the crank still usable since I know you can't grind them on a cb500? Should I polish it?
Second there is a pit on the big end bearing of #3 rod which doesn't snag but can be felt with a finger.

Does it need replacing? and if so do both half shells need to be replaced?
Thanks for your help
