340 crankshaft value

.................... I like forged better but as far as needed perhaps not but sometimes I go OCD on things and do it whether it needs it or not lol

I would say that if you have a tendency to go OCD, you really don't need us to tell you what to do.....let your OCD guide you to do what you need to do to feel good about what you want as our suggestions may not align with your OCD requirements....

My opinion..........drill the cast crank, bush it and go.....it will cost less than the forged crank

Another opinion.......why did the rod journals get cut .020 more than the mains??? I know, I know, that it does not matter, mains and rod journals do not have to be cut the same amount, they just have to be cut the amount to clean up the the imperfections........my guess is that the crank suffered a spun rod bearing.........again my opinion
