Hello All,



How can you tell a 308 crank from a 262/232 (other than mesuring stroke)? Is there a different casting number on them? Any info would br greatly appreciated.

    I have just answered your PM regarding this question. I had the same question a decade ago and was answered by Kelly Hindgartner via snail-mail. If you want to post my reply to your PM here - please do.

    If there is an easy or simple method, I am sure that everyone would like to know - and would make a good item of reference for anyone searching posts/threads as well...

    Well, you'd have to at least take your oil pan off!



    I had this picture in my old gallery here.

    If you'll look at the thin counterweight between the #3 rod and the second main - you can faintly see the forging number on the crank.
