prs Posted December 12, 2003 Share Posted December 12, 2003 I appreciate that a 1.8K series crank has more throw to achieve the greater stroke but is there any difference between 1.6 and 1.8 rods, apologies if the answer is obvious but I ain't sure!

John Howe Posted December 12, 2003 Share Posted December 12, 2003 Phil, by having 10m more throw than a 1600 cc crank and 10mm less length than a 1600cc conrod you have the same t.d.c. but the engine grows from 1600 to 1800 cc. Thus 1800o conrods are shorter! JH Deliveries by Saffron, the yellow 222bhp Sausage delivery machine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Walker Posted December 12, 2003 Share Posted December 12, 2003 also the crank pins/big ends are different the 1800 being 48mm the 1600 are 43mm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
