First, get the crank x-rayed to make sure it has no cracks, often that come with abused and overheated forgings. Second, I"ve even had racing engine cranks built up and welded, and in some cases they were better than the other journals in long use. Most important though, make sure the crank is jigged during welding to keep it from bending. Cheers, Bob
