About 10 years ago on the false grid at New Hampshire a Volvo P1800 went to
start and the engine would not crank - it was seized. Turned out that the
chrome had flaked off the crank and jammed up in the bearing journals. No
idea where the hard chrome was done, but the car and driver were from eastern
PA Joe(B).

The hardchrome gives a very hard and durable surface to the crank journals.
It does not add any strength or resistance to cracking, as does Nitriding.
