Greeks Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 I'm not sure quite what crankshaft I have in my engine, but having had a look at it last weekend I jotted down the following:At one end:31131317740 (then possibly an arrow or 'T' or '1')JGSBT'other end:"2152Stanpart"Should any of those numbers give me a clue? :-/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greeks Posted January 18, 2009 Author Share Posted January 18, 2009 OMG you got me worried there Richard, so I went and ripped the sump off to check I hadn't written the number down wrong...Phew, I hadn't... right I'm off to wash the oil out of my hair ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJB_Harvey Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 I take it that 214889 TR5 crank is the cross drilled variety...SO is the 214926 one as fitted to MK1 PI saloons cross drilled or not ?...anybody know for sure or didnt saloons have x drilled ones ????

andy thompson Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 All MK1 PI's had a cross drilled crank... I have used plenty and never had to cannibalise a TR5 to get one ;DEarly Mk2's also had cross drilling but the heavier flywheel as per 1969 TR6... not sure when this was discontinued but pretty early on....

DJB_Harvey Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Cheers for clearing that up Andy....Must strip this MK1 PI motor and get the crank out and take a look at it...Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greeks Posted January 19, 2009 Author Share Posted January 19, 2009 I guess some previous 'genius' decided to use something else in mine ... no sign of any cross drills :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy thompson Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 NIce and clean inside your motor Mr Reeks... very tidy... suprised the oil pump was chafed up ??)I have heard from a few sources that the oil plugs are a pain to fit / work loose etc so were unpopular with quicky rebuild mobs and you could get NOS late cranks for about 10 quid a few years back....All that cross drilling leads to better lube but lower oil pressure so if you don't care for your motor the better lube can also be its downfall if you let it get out of hand (leg out of bed) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greeks Posted January 19, 2009 Author Share Posted January 19, 2009 TBH even 'blueprinted' oil pump isn't giving that much better oil pressure ... but i'm over it ;DI saw GT's comments about PSI at 5,000rpm being 50-60 to be safe (assuming that's what he meant to say ;) ) - mine's up over 80 at that 8)Over Christmas though I did finally have to put a pint of oil in - I reckon a pint over 6,000 miles isn't too bad.Crank's 40thou over now, must have been done to 20 before :-/... i've got some NOS standard size Vandervell Mains knocking around somewhere ... would have been nice to have had a NOS crank to fit into them ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuzzy Harris Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 i `ve just read this thread after finding a brand new crank in my shed together with some stuff that will make you all cry but i`ll leave that till later, having read the first question and first reply i`m a little bit confused as this new crank is 311313, can someone confirm which crank it is as richard reply has confused me.

Greeks Posted January 27, 2009 Author Share Posted January 27, 2009 You know fuzzy, it makes me feel so much better that there's another person who has no idea what it is.I did wonder if this is another 'spares' like the cylinder head mentioned in the other thread.My crank's 40 thou over now, though :-/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuzzy Harris Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 I feel so much better that someone else thinks i`ve got no idea, and it makes someone else feel better knowing i`ve no idea but i`ve still got no idea so theres no point asking you if you have any ideas :-/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
