These were also 40 year old cranks of unknown provenence, pulled out
of old car engines that may have been thrashed to within an inch of
their lives in previous "inCARnations"

This has been my area of concern as well. I would really find these
engines more attractive if I was confident that a complete new engine
could
be built.

New engines don't have crankshaft problems?

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
