Burlington vs Reconditioned Crank

[newshirt]

I’m considering an engine rebuild and would like to understand the advantages of a new Burlington crank over a reconditioned one with counterweights added. Cost is not a consideration.

I understand the cranks will be similar and I might not feel a difference while driving the car. But beyond that, there must be some clear advantages of a new crankshaft. For instance, I’m concerned that a reconditioned crank might go out of spec sooner than a new Burlington. E.g. twist, crack, bend, wear, etc. After all, it’s already 85 years old and probably needed reconditioning for a reason. So is longevity an advantage? Or not? Anything else?

Thanks in advance!
