250 crankshaft question
« on: December 08, 2016, 06:19:53 »
Are the manual transmission crankshafts interchangeable with the autos.  I know the 230s we not but not sure of the 250. Thanks guys

Basically yes,
but you have to rebalance them with the new flywheels.

They're not the same. The dowel pin on the end of the crank is longer on a standard trans engine. No balancing is required for late flywheels.

Thank you. I thought they were the same so as long as i have the later flywheel i should be fine.  Great to be back on the forum. I have been away for a while.
