If you buy a 4340 forged crankshaft that sells in the US for less than $2500 you can bet the forging was/ is made in China.
Now that's not to say that's a bad thing because racing as we have known it for the last 25-30 years wouldn't be what it is today without Chinese forged parts.
However with that said, there are only so many foundries in China equipped to pound out 100 pound pieces of steel into shape. The quality and aesthetics you get
depends on who did the final finish work on the forgings. Some companies (usually the lower cost ) buy the parts totally finished and boxed in China.
Others buy the forgings from China, finish them out here in the US, and then do the final inspection here. I really hate name dropping, but what comes out of an Eagle box
is not going to be the same level as what comes out of a Molnar Technologies box. This is the reason I sell Molnar products.
