Most cranks are made of cast iron, this was was supposed to be made of billet steel, (e a lot stronger)

Re: RE: LD20 Crank in L20B? (kinda related):
That reminds me of a story. (Tune out now of not interested).
I heard a story going round the sprite club about a sprite that had a
'steel bottom end'. Apparently these guys bought this motor with the
aforementioned steel crank and rods and fitted the engine to their race
sprite. They then proceded to give it an absolute thrashing for a few
seasons. It reputedly revved higher and ran better than their previous
engine and they were quite impressed with their ' steel bottom end' After
a long while the thing finally let go, and they pulled it down to dicover
a standard bottom end!!!!!

Re: LD20 Crank in L20B?:
List,
I was just talking to someone who claimed they once built a hi-po L20B
using the LD diesel crankshaft, they claimed it was unbreakable and
rev-ed to near motorbike limits:) I'm a little sceptical , though I've
heard of the 6cyl Diesel cranks being used in L6's. Has anyone ever tried
this or have any info, just curious,
Dan
