Problem with welding up a crank is that you weld up as much on the side you don´t want any extra material on or the crank will warp.
Then you have to straighten it and grind off a lot of material...not a fun task !
I used to have an old gleeson but it was retired when i moved my shop from town out to the homestead.
Mostly big diesels with spun bearings we did in it...and not many strokers.
