It is normal for a crank to have drill marks; that is how Ford does
there balancing, drilling out material and sometimes drilling and adding
heavy metal for production balance procedures.

my supplier over here says its not possible to do that but there are some
holes drilled in the crank weights and the vibrations were not terrible so i
strongly suspect someone has tried that.
i guess i'll know by the vibrations after i start it up again.
if this is the case i'll have to get a new crank and rebalance the
assembly. that'll be fun - trying to find somewhere in the uk to do
that and pay less than $1500 :(
