I did read it. My point was it would fail eventually anyway.
Unless guys are regularly maging their cranks on a regular basis they won’t see the signs of the crank being under serious distress. I‘m betting if he gets the crank mag’d now he will see a bunch of little fractures.
And, that’s an issue with cast cranks. Once a fracture starts it fails rather quickly where a forged crank will fracture and not fail for a much longer time.
Ive see damper failures so bad that when the crank finally failed it had fractured the block. The harmonics were so bad that they fractured the bulkheads at the outer main bolts.
And that was a KB billet crank and BBC Bow tie block. And the crank killing Moroso aluminum hub.
