Lyn Garland on his TR




A vote of thanks to Lyn Garland for these notes on RD crankshaft part numbers and alternative TZ bits together with alternative con rod dimensions.



At a later date I just might get time to add runout tolerances etc (GFS)

Since Lyn's work is about what you need in the way of parts for splitting and rebuilding your beloved machine's crankshaft, I have put this link to Alph Bearings Crank shaft Reconditioning handbook in PDF format.

Many thanks to Alpha Bearings for initially publishing this work, and if you are in the UK give them a bell for a quote :- +44 (0) 1384-255151

It goes without saying if you are in the USA contact Lyn Garland :- VINTSPCLTY at AOL dot COM

Bearing, Main TZ outer
1 *NB*

NB:- If you choose TZ outer crank bearings you can only use1, and must be mounted on the ignition end of the crank.

Reason the RD uses helical cut primary gears which produce a side load on the crank and require a circlip to keep the crank from shifting. The TZ uses straight cut primary gears that do not load the crankshaft and uses a different bearing location system (half moon clips in the inner crank bearing area.) You cannot use TZ inner bearings because the crank inner shafts are larger than the RD to handle the higher loads.
