Not necessarily. People seem to forget about the welded strokers. You can still get one made. People also seem to have forgotten that Ford made quite a few CAST STEEL Merc cranks. (prefered for welding)
A welded crank will last as long as a billet in a street engine.



Hi Pete, I have a question: I have a couple Merc 4" cranks. How do I tell if they are cast steel or not?


Thanks, Allan
