B6T crank?

[qik_30x]

Hi guys,<P>Does anyone know if I can use a NA SOHC B6 crank in a DOHC B6T? <P>I have had absolutly no luck in finding any here in Perth, there are B6's everywhere but no B6T's!!!<P>One guy tells me that they use B6 cranks in B6T's all of the time, and other guys tell me that they arnt the same! I really really need some help here <P>The strenth of the crank doesnt really worry me cause i can get it shot peened and balanced etc for not too much. I just need to know if its the same size etc.<P>thanx heaps,<P>Steve

check out journal sizes and part interchanging

I think the B6T's parts are interchangable with the M1 generation of miatas (i think). check to see sizing and stuff though just to be sure.

well, I checked out my Ford Laser KE shop manual (should have done it in the first place) and discovered the physical dimensions are exactly the same.<P>Crankshaft run out = 0.04<BR>Main Journal Diameter Standard = 49.938 ~ 49.956<BR> <BR>Main Journal Taper and out-of-round = Standard 0.05<BR>Crank Pin Diameter Standard = 44.940~44.956<BR> <BR>Crank Pin Taper and out-of-round Standard = 0.05<P>The B6 and the B6T cranks have the same numbers.<P>steve<p>[ May 19, 2002: Message edited by: qik_30x ]
