Teri's post about nitriding cranks brought up this thought.  I have a
Stag engine going through a rebuild.  It looks like I'll have to have
the crank ground, but these have a reputation for being weak.  What
kind of surface or hardening treatments are available?  What's involved
in the process and what does it do for you?  Shot peening I understand,
but what is nitriding?  Any others?

Thanks
