Hi All,
Does anyone know if the D and F crankshafts are the same?
I don't have a D parts book for the engine. Sone parts sites list their cranks as N/D/F/L etc whereas others list theirs as F onwards. Confusing.
I have just had a bearing go in the 500F engine I have just rebuilt. I got a bunch of new parts from the Netherlands, pistons, and bearings amongst them. The rings on the piston kits were rubbish (2mm ring gap) and I suspect the bearings were as well - maybe oval?? The measured up fine, but they only lasted 30 minutes in the car.
I have a 500D crankshaft here and a set of bearings for it. Does anyone know if they are the same as the 500F/L?? I can't see any obvious differences but maybe someone with more experience can shed some light on any differences please?
Many thanks
Chris
