Default Re: Understanding Crankshaft journal hardness

Hey Mike,
Thanks for the lesson !
So, is it fair to say that what you are saying, in a way, is that if I have a NOS Ford produced B crank..with properly polished surfaces.. that would be a much better crank than a currently produced/available similar sized crank ?

Do you know how Ford got such high 'hardness' thru/thru his cranks and why that is not so with say available and much more expensive A/B cranks of today ? Is that due to cost of processes and/or metal make up ??
