    No numbers on the crank, at least not where Gathors post would have me looking. What I did find after much searching was this.... Very light engraving on the end of the Spar on journal four. I dont know if you can see but it looks like four letters CCDC all about 15mm tall, under that about...

    Big end failure....

    The only way i have ever come across different journals in an engine was tighter tolerances on cylinder one, and looser at the flywheel end. It helped the oil flow from the front to the back of the shaft, but we have two colours on the same rod / journal. Any how, I am going in to the garage...

    Big end failure....

    Yeah This seems to be the brick wall, no one seems to know or have posted anything simular. i do not want to get into the relms of dropping teh crank out, getting a regrind, and matching shells, it's be too expensive. the car is an 04 plate and only worth 2000 to 3000 part ex so it would be a...
