Sorry to keep asking, but...... I have just recieved the haynes manual on the 1.6 and 1.8 diesel enine. I also have the Hamill book on the pino/cosworth engine. The dimensions (crank length, small end, big end) appear to be the same as the 1.6.
As I have never had the conrods out of either diesel to compare, or tried this mod, could you tell me what stops them from fitting? which dimension makes them incompatable?
I have taken the advice on the crank, do job properly and think cossy crank is the way.
I apreciate your help
