I had bettom end knocking so i removed the crank and sure enough the bearings and crank no good. I had the crank reground and they said at the engerneers it is a 1.8 cvh crank,They supplied the bearings to fit my crank but don't fit the rods. Thats where the problems started. I can't get bearings to fit my crank and rods.
I believe to have a 1.9 bored out 1.6 cvh rst block
1.8 cvh crank
mahle pistons
I cant identify the rods with a name such as ford ect.The rods have studs fixed in with a nut that holds the cap on not like standard with a bolt. They are covered in numbers but some are ground out. They are:
22269z2jgsbmlp (on one side)
88218122 w2168???????? (ground out on other side)
The pisons also have these numbers on them if this helps: r101 b2/61
I need to identify these as i cant get parts. Any help would be great as i have a potental scrap engine. any engine buildes on here got any ideas.

they sent the bearings for a 1.8 but the securing key thats on the bearing is on the wrong side for the rods and also a different thickiness. they sent the bearings to acomodate the regrind but are thinner than the ones i took out.

i spoke to the builders today and they said the 1.6 big end is 2.5mm smaller than the 1.8 so there is no way it can be
have you ever heard of COUNTY i think its the bearing company that made the old bearings but cant find anything on the net.

Power engineering do the 1.6 overbore and stroked crank conversion and it takes it out to just over 1.8 but they call it a 1.9 and branded it as system2 for some reason.
Vulcan engineering on the Uxbridge road in Hanwell also do these conversions and were infact supplying PE for while
