forged billet crank
what are the advantages of a billet crank, I know they are stronger but does this mean if the bearings start knocking it doesn't damage the crank. or do you have to replace the crank as well as new bearings ???

If the bearings were to go it would still damage the crank. The better cranks will have better oil delivery at high RPM to the bearings.
