Well the crank bearings and seals are for surely getting replaced. I just don't wanna tear the crank apart or get a new one. Do you think the rod and rod bearing is ok? Can the crAnk be thrown outta balance?

Define ok. Out of alignment is a reasonable possibility. Afterall you are expecting a press fit with a large offset to stay lined up. Balance is harder to change, and most don't understand what it means.

Well there is a little blueing around the shaft. Where the crank bearings sitCheck that the rod is straight, and there are no issues with the threads/keyway.
If there is no discoloration or play in the big end, as measured with a dial indicator, it is considered 'In spec' to me. -BIG DAN
That's ok, as long as the bearings are being changed. -BIG DAN
Is this the first time you've had this crank in your hand during your ownership?
Or was it already blued last time it had new bearings?

This is the first time I have split the cases and have had the crank in my hands
You should probably get it checked out bud!
Alright. I have a local Kawasaki shop I'll take it to. Thanks for the input
It might cost a bit but if it goes bad after the rebuild then you'll be 
When you go to the shop make sure you try and speak to the mechanic that will be checking it and let him know you're on a tight budget!
Hopefully hes not a pure company man unless of course it's his company lol
