413 maltese cross

[midnightrider1818]

So i have that 413, it has the maltese cross which i know means .001 undersize rods or mains, after so research i was told to look at the 3rd counter weight on crank for the stampings, i did that and I also have stampings on the second counter weight also, what do you guys make of these numbers, first pic is second counter weight and second Pic is is 3rd counter weight

When I zoomed in, it looks like it says " measure the journals".

Where's the cross? I don't see it. A Maltese cross is .001 undersized crank. A Maltese cross and an X is .010 undersized.
The cross (if it has one) should be stamped on the block.

That almost looks like a cast crank. Can we get better pics? Doesn't have the rod throw ears like a 413 crank should

 

[toolmanmike]

Yep, that sure looks like a cast crank. The counterweights are way too sharp cornered for a forged crank. Parting lines will confirm.

I read as -.010 rods 1 or 10 under. This crank M5 R 56 / 78 -001.

You know, I think you guys are right, I think this is a cast crank, after some research I found the cast cranks have 440 stamped on them and this crank does, I'll walk back out and take a pic of the parting line in a bit

Here is the pics

Cast it is.

Yep. Cast 440 crank, rebuilder replacement for the steel 413 crank it should have. Making any size marks on the block invalid (the cross).
Is the engine bored oversize already?
What does the balancer and flywheel/flexplate look like?
