Funny that you mention the crankshafts and their vices and virtues. it seems
to me to be an almost even swap, becuase I personally have had a 1600 crank
break in half, and have seen it happen to other 1600 as well! I have never
heard of a 1725 crank break, but I have seen a lot of them with spun
bearings. I think that once you ensure that you are getting enough oil, the
1725 is a slightly better deal. Lou

The forged 3 main would appear to be a wash as compared to the cast 5 main,
but I would submit that the rootes works teames did suffer failures from
broken cranks running the 1592. I dont recall hearing of a broken 1725
crank.
