The tac-welds are there to keep the weight from rotating on the bolt however it is the bolt that is keeping the weight stationary

This pic is from your comment on the oil pressure to the center main that you state is the way you do the tube. The picture shows a lot more weld than tack to keep the weight from moving. I still believe the bolt should be strong enough to keep the weight from slinging off into the pan, but this crank has a lot more weld than just a tack.
