The welding  is only a  thin ring to get rid a chamfer on toyota crank so avenger thrusts have enough to run against. As for other crank work it's basically grind jounals to required sizes, hack off 1/2 the nose & drop it in

It's probably been mentioned but you 'could' almost custom make your own crank for what seems like all the work thats gone into this? or am I thinking Cam's , I've seen a guy make his own once, but yeah I appreceate cnc Mills/ lathes are not exactly cheap either

no matter what : I like the direction this is going & do not let me put you off!

Little bit happening now, 2y crank's been welded adding some meat so we can use standard avenger thrust bearings in their stock location, easier than modding the block to suit the crank.
Next, trim center main  to suit 2y's slightly narrower journal.

Crank will be ground to suit std avenger bearings then start planning a custom flywheel.

It hath indeed been fixed. Acts completely normal now when both cold and hot. There's no issue now so there was never a problem in the first place
