similarities: 1.4 & 1.6k crankshaft timing gear and crankshaft pulley.....

[masha]

can anyone tell me if the crankshaft timing gear and crankshaft pulley are exactly the same part on a 1.4k and a 1.6k.

 

There also seems to have been a change many of the parts on the later 1.6k's post circa '97, so can anyone also shed any light on whether these parts are also the same on a '96k 1.6k and and '98k 1.6k respectively (as I found out the timing belt has more teeth on the later 1.6ks at the weekend).

 

Thanks

Sounds as though you're swapping your "old" 1.4 for a "new" 1.6. The teeth on the flywheel (for the crank sensor not the starter) are different & so is the crankshaft pulley. Other differences include the injection sequence & the ignition coil. Not too sure on the differences between a 96 & 98 1.6 K though. Swapped my 1994 1.4 for a 1999 1.6 in 2000. Plenty of headaches.

There are two crankshaft timing gears. One is wider than the other and is designed for a wider belt which became an uprated part at some point. Perhaps this recollection will help you get somewhere. The wide one was LHH100480 as a Rover part.
