yer this was posted a while ago, microcat says the S1 cranks are the same as the xrsi, but the later S2 had a slightly different crank with radus corners for strength, but they all fit and work fine

Indeed, however, did you see the pictures in posted?

I removed a crank from an 89 EFI CVH, and it also had radiused corners.

Here are the pictures, compare for yourself, i guarantee you will find this is the same as any other 1.6 crank produced on or after 1986

thats different to my crank in my turbo lump, mines dont have the radius corners, mine must be an older engine then

SafeChav

As i say that came out of an XR3i!!!

What cast number has yours got? As you can see that one is an 86 cast
