Re: [VintageLambo] Crank bearings/questions

yeah, I was expecting some replies like this. If the correct process is followed (i.e. expert shop), it is my understanding this is a very reliable and durable remedy. I"ve never chromed a crank, but have other components with excellent results. Could you be more specific as to the exact problem with chroming? I"m aware of hydrogen embrittlement and flexing. These issues are understood and can be dealt with.
