This crankshaft is a one piece and is heat treated and surface hardened. The connecting rods and bearing races are split in the middle. The bearing retainers are also split in half and assembled around the crankshaft, and split races are in the block and main bearing caps. The roller bearings run directly on the hardened crankshaft.
