Some of these cranks are new cranks, CAST with counterweights. They 
are nowhere near as good as a forged crank. OTOH, I hear that even VW 
supplies cast cranks as replacements now since their demand for these 
old parts is no longer sufficient to justify the forging costs.

Moral: If you have a good OE forged crank, take care of it and don't 
let it get away from you.
