Ah sorry, my mistake!
These are BAABA
Used a Vernier to measure the crank diameters and all were >32.99mm with the exception of the diameter at the rotor end that was around 32.986 / 32.988 so put this down as 32.98
Using the selelction table is the manual I got the bearings for the crankshaft journals as:
2x Brown (Table 2/B)
2x Green (Table 1B)
6 x Yellow (Table 1A)
Oddjob:
Ok, just checking, without any A's on the stamping there can't be any yellows, only 1A gives a yellow shell.

Thats an interesting factoid Bryan.

Right, stripping paint and cleaning engine casings and covers. What are the recommended processes?
I've tried to do a little test on the oil filter cover with nitromors to strip paint and also soda blasting but nothing much gained. Nitromors didnt touch the paint.
I thought vapour blasting might be the way to go to get the cases clean and ready for paint prep, but not sure if I need to get the paint professionally stripped before hand?

Acid dip?
