Are these the same on both or different?!

Tried to fit one out of a 2wd 205 block to a 200 block earlier and it doesnt want to go all the way in for some reason tried it again in the 205 block and it was fine, so was there any differences between one for a 4x4 and 2wd block?!

Assuming their not machined to fit each block as its a replaceable item!!

 

double post

 

the drive as far as i know is the same for both the only the book says is that the short side goes to the oil pump for both engine types, the drive should have a washer on it offset from the centre.

 

the drives dont have a washer on from memory?!

Its basically the end bit of the shaft that sits on a hole for the shaft to spin is slightly bigger than the hole in the block for it and wont slide in hence wondering if there is a slight size difference on the end bit!!

 

mate, i think he is talking about the complete jack shaft assembly

 

sorry had only got in from work yea meant the jack shaft assy my bad!

editing the title now

 

they're interchangeable as far as I know

have you removed the dizzy from the 200 block ?

 

Yea mate tried fitting it without the dizzy, wont push in at all into the hole in the block the end sits in to spin round on!! thats why i double checked it in the 205 block it came out of and fits spot on in that, have got another one sitting in the bottom end thats on the car so gonna give that a ago but have to get it out first as the crank pulley is stuck on and cant get the aux pulley off

 

problem found, the round bearing surface that sits pressed in the edge of the block has been damaged badly at some point hence the shaft wont slide in properly, can they be easily removed does anyone know and replaced?!

Crank and pistons etc are all bolted in so dont really want to be taking them out to get it replaced

 

They can be removed/replaced easy enough, but wouldn't like to do one in situ, don't know if a machine shop would either.
tabetha

 

do you know anywhere that stocks them?! and how much roughly?!

Im guessing by in situ u mean in the car?! if so the blocks sitting in a garage at the mo as its not fully built yet luckly!!

If i have to will take the crank out again, just means i'd have to replace the big end bolts but obviously it needs changing so!

 

why would you have to replace the big end bolts ?

 

Meant if i had to take the crank out again, i thought the con rod bolts had to be replaced everytime their removed?!

Should be ok with doin as it is thou without removing the crank, just ordered one from woodford and should just come out with a bit of gentle persuasion
