NO at any serial number!! WC-WF-WD-WD45 engines have 2 1/2" diameter main bearing journals. This is the W-201 and W-226 engine series. The D17-170-175-E and E-3 combines have 3" diameter main bearing journals. This is the G-226 engine series. Blocks and cranks are DIFFERENT.

Series 1 and 2 and 3 were all the same. Series 4 and 170 and 175 have  "tuff-trided" (nitrided) crankshaft journals, which make them harder on the surface to resist wear. You cannot tell the difference by looking at one, as a new crank fits right in an old engine.

I've looked at three crankshafts for a G-226 in my basement. All three have a casting number of 229022.

I'm guessing these original cranks are forged? My 45 was. It now has an Asian cast crank.

YUP. A red/white hot chunk of good quality steel/iron that is hammered into 3 or 4 step dies to achieve the size and shape they wanted. There are Utube videos on crankshaft forging. Amazing how man has mastered some manufacturing processes to the same result hundreds or thousands of times per day.

I had a course in college called "manufacturing processes".  50's film forging a 6cyl crank. Amazing how they flipped and turned that red hot chunk and beat it into shape!

After watching one of those cranks being forged, it would explain how once in a great while one breaks after years of service. Surely there is an occasional flaw of dirt or debris in the metal that later on shows up as a fracture.

I presume that grinding the journals undersize pretty much wipes out the nitriding?
