292H Comp Cam, reusable?? How to tell.

Somebody spent a lot of money balancing a cast crank.
Yes, you are right.... that 'welded in' button or slug is of interest....not sure it is Mallory metal or not. That is why I mentioned the later, low CR pistons perhaps being different... I do not know if they were lighter than the early 340 pistons or not. If so, that would lead to a re-balance of the crank with L2613F's. But I just don't know for sure.

You're not going to re-use the lifters. right?
