opinions on welded crank
Long story short I will be doing an experiment on a factory DE crank. I was going to have the journals ground down .010" and run larger bearings, but when I got the crank back rod journal 3 was welded and ground down to size. I didn't think they would have had to do that but I guess it was needed.
The crank no longers has a roll-formed fillet, but instead is radiused to reduce stress risers. As far as heat treating I don't know but I will say that the crank went to a very reputable crank remanufacturer in the area. Will this crank hold up to my 400whp daily driver? Opinions are welcome.
