Hello All!
I received a free motor over a year ago that I was told to be a M52B28. I kept this motor on the back burner and then rushed to get the crank and rods removed before I moved to another home. I gave all other parts away and sent the remaining to the metal recycle without inspecting the block #'s to confirm if its a 2.8L. Rookie of the year move...
Anywho, I am going to bring my block to the machine shop next week and I want to confirm that my crank is 100% an 2.8L crank.
I have been looking all morning to line up the casting numbers and the painted numbers without a solid result.
Pictures from other M52 crank ID threads have not given me a lot of confidence either.
I am fairly confident I can guarantee its forged.
Here is the Painted number on the Crank - 171 198
Cast # on Crank - 143 2274
Is this a M50 Crank or M52?
Any help from this wonderful community would be much appreciated.
Thank you!
