It's a turbo crank.

All turbo heads are different, sodium cooled exh valves mean a bigger stem which is easily visable under the rockers! Early turbo engines are different... The Crank is often a CAM 6232 which is the as any other 1275 (bar old stuff). But some have "turbo" cranks CAM 6581 - much harder, and longer lasting. Early blocks with WFM1024 on the back (IIRC) have different main bearing compair to other 1275s - the bottom half bearing shell is solid. After 1992 all 1275s adopted this thou and the part number moved to the front. Early blocks are commonly linered as well for some reason! Piston wise.. the majoprity I have seen are 20831s but there are some funny 4 ring low comp ones and later 20353 (IIRC). Any use? Alex In the 13's at last!.. Just |

Early turbo-crank. They may be speciael. noone knows. Treat it like a regular A+ crank. On 13th Jul, 2012 Ben H said:

Early engines (circa pre '85) didn't seem to have the 6581 crank - these ran the 6232.

The 6581 cranks do seem to be something different from the stock 6232. As Dave said, they seem to be somewhat harder wearing. My 6581 crank has now covered over 100,000 and is still std/std and in good condition, despite it spending the last 8 years in my engine.

I always feel like I shouldn't admit it, but every time i check it, it still looks like new... Yeah i've certainly had my moneys worth out of mine. The whole Metro it came from only cost me £100 ! Didn't Jim have one to ? |

The one I removed from BIR1 was std/std as well, no idea on how long it's been in there, but that's been given some stick for sure. Also, I think the plain bearings help to reduce crank wear, as you often see the ridges in the centre main on the old type. BE wear is something else though. On 13th Jul, 2012 Ben H said:

The one I have is also all std, never been ground. looks sweet to, but will be sticking a mic over it before it goes back in just to make sure. Reckon I got a bargain to, the car this engine came out of had 2mths tax on it and 4mths MOT and I paid £175 for it, well that was about 6 years or so ago now but still a bargain I reckon!

Do the ding test. If one is EN40, it has a higher ding than an EN16 and if it goes clunk, it's fucked. That's what I like about TM, always at the forefront of high technology testing
