"When it comes to crankshafts, if forged, you can ALWAYS add material. It's done every day. We shy away from cast cranks with welds, as the surface tension and grain are adversely affected by the process. But a good steel one? If done right, has zero ill effects."
Jim, do you see any problems with adding some material to the counterweights of the cast cranks with nickle rod for balancer purposes? We have also had quite a few "tightened" up at the thrust without any noticable ill effects (never broke one at the thrust journal, even on high HP applications) by welding them up and turning them down........Cliff

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
