They dont tell you who the maker is bc its a no name production company likely in China and its irrelevant. However, if its CNC'd it could be machined very good, all dependent on the program.

Not to mention that is a 2 piece rear main seal crank. And the lt1 is a 1 piece rear main seal.

Not exactly. A billet is a single piece of bar stock, from which the crank is cut. Some believe the alignment of the molecules in this type of material makes it stronger.
I spoke to a wholesaler of Callies cranks, he told me they were forged and cut in China, but finished in America. Unable to verify this info.

I have no verification either, but I was under the impression that the Chinese pieces were for their compstar line. I was told the "Callies" line was all forged and machined in the USA. Who knows anymore......
