Probably 20 years ago I took my 428. Tank to get checked out and turned if needed they nagged it and found a bunch of small cracks in the radius’. That’s the only factory crank I’ve had to take out of service. I think I went to an Eagle cast crank and ran it for quite a long time till I decided I “needed” to go to forged crank for piece of mind. I bought an Ohio forged 455 crank. It lasted a season and cracked near the thrust main. So much for a forged lasting longer. I did buy another forged and used it with aluminum rods and it has lasted a long time. I figured I lost the first crank because of banging on the 2-step. It could have been a junk balancer too. It’s been so long ago I don’t remember what I used at the time. I only use ATI balancers now days.
