It was a cast crank. That is what Keith put into the pond block.
I will choose a forged crank for the new engine, and will also go for an iron block instead of an aluminum one.
My aluminum block just burst apart. I come to believe that an iron block is more rigid than an aluminum one and will hold up better.
I do not know if the aluminum block has some influence in the breaking of the crank. Makes me think
