Re: 440 Experts,,, Forged or Steele Crank shaft?

[Dave Casey <dcasey@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Generally, you're talking about the same thing. What you don't want for 
performance applications is a cast crank shaft.
The rule is, if it rings (like a tuning fork) when you tap it with a wrench, 
it's not cast and it's not cracked.
If it thumps, it's cracked or cast.
