^$130-$175 to micropolish a crank? Or do they have cranks already micro polished? I can barely feel it with my finger nails. I can't feel it with my fingers but when I rub my nails I can slightly feel it, that's why I say when they micro polish it if you think it will come out? Anyways will I be able to ask the machine shop if it will work before they do it?

I would recommend Swain Tech or Calico. They've been around forever. Expect to pay $130.00 - $175.00

I also forgot about Tom. I had seen a lot of his work a while back. He did a lot of work for the government, airlines, drag racing teams, etc. His e-mail is tbone327@cox.net . Below is one of his cranks
If the guy still does this he did fantastic work

Why would you moly coat those parts of the crank? I though moly coating was to reduce friction to reduce heat? How does those parts that rea moly coated help?
