Both engines are well known to me. Here's the answer.
Crank-1 has already been documented in this thread as S65, ~30000 Miles, Bone Stock, 2008. Crank-2 specs are as follows: S65, ~11000 Miles, Bone Stock, 2008. |
So even you would have to admit that the sizes of both those cranks and the 78k mile S85 that I measured all being within a tenth is pretty good. Yes?

My research told me that the Carillo rods that you had installed on your previously rebuilt Na motor were replaced for a new set with extra material on the shoulders due to bore distortion and the addition of a blower.
Yes the pattern across 2 or 3 others was similar.
It was highlighted to show that even Carillo rods can have faults. I note they also seem to run tighter than the BMW rods.
