Product Description
Crankshaft inc Bearings - Reconditioned - Short Back Crank - 311322R
Includes appropriate bearing sets.
*Note: Long and short backed refer to the depth of the rear oil seal surface. Having removed the flywheel and any spacers, if the end of the crank is flush with the engine back plate, it is a short backed crank. If almost an inch of
crankshaft stands proud, a long backed crank is fitted. The flywheel design differs accordingly, i.e. long back cranks use a recessed flywheel, short backs a non recessed flywheel. A short back crank may be used to replace a long back item, but only if the flywheel is swapped for the later version as well.
Before ordering, it would be a worthwhile exercise to check which version is fitted to your vehicle. It is possible that the crank type may have been changed during a previous engine rebuild.
