Default Think I really messed up
I was removing the pilot bearing and decided to get my dremel out and cut away at the rest. well now i have a nice little groove in the crank itself. any chance it'll be fine or am i screwed?

I think you will be fine. as long as the new bearing drives in and is a tight fit I would run it. Dont ask me how I know

Take your Dremel and grind off any burs. Tap the new one ion and call it a day.
