No Eric. And the 320 and 385 cranks are essentially similar in that the counterweight slightly overlaps the rod journal so to grind full-width, the weights must come off. Essentially, the bolts have very long extended heads.
After the weights are installed and the bolts tightened, the shanks are cut off flush with the counterweight and then brazed or welded to the crank, thus to remove them you have to mill down thru the weld or braze and thru the head of the bolt. Ive never actually done this myself so maybe I've got the details not quite right, but if so I'm sure someone who has actually done it will chime in.
