 I know the "Red" crank had a unique part number, but did it have a different casting number from stock?

  1. Re: 948 crank (Weslake1330)
It became practice (not sure if common or not) to refer to cranks and rods by the casting number stamped on them rather than their actual part number and that I suggest, explains the difference of a single digit of the number on your crank and the part number for it.

Ok,Pan off!AEA793 is hand stamped on the crank.Found AEA792 was  tufrided  (sp?) crank.No clue what I have now.  All bottom end bolts are "super titanium" marked and look brand new.  Rods look like they were made yesterday!Pistons are .040 over "made in England" stamped on tops Inside of motor looks like it was assembled days/weeks ago.  Outside looks like it's sat around for a long time.  Engine was printed black.  Also on the block head gasket surface are 3 diamonds  with a ,#2 or #3 inside the diamonds.Who cut a block and then stamped the gasket surface?  And , why?No engine I.D. tag & Rivets are milled flush with the gasket surface. All of the freeze plugs on block are expandable type with a center stud & nut , even the one on the block rear and the plate was drilled to allow the freeze plug's stud clearance.Cam , looking into bottom of block is darn LUMPY!  Should be interesting to see whose cam is in this ?   Norris possibly?Chuck
