Crossflow Crankshaft
Hello
Been offered a replacement crankshaft for my 1600 711M crossflow by a reputable company, BUT, the numbers on my casting read '711M AD' and
the one being offered reads '711M AE'.
Anyone know if these are different? Could the offered one be for a 1300?
Thanks in advance...
James

Could it relate to the year of manufacture?

^^^^ ointeresting theory.
you need to check that the throw is the same (there were at least 3 different ones for 1100, 1300 and 1600 engines) and that the journals are the same
width (2 different widths).
Not sure if you can mix and match widths; probbly not.
