Then one can suppose that it is safe to say that a high quality Mercedes-Benz diesel engine that meets only the highest of quality standards should indeed have a crankshaft, as the crux of it's power transmission system, of only the greatest depth available in nitride hardening capabilities - worldwide.
all in jest dear moderator.
It is great to finally see the actual numbers.
