A14 vs A15

A15 uses the second A14 block casting (same block as A14):

11010-H9700 A14/A15 BARE BLOCK 76mm/2.99" bore size
- Bore: 76 mm
- Stroke A15: 82mm
- Stroke A14: 77mm
- Pin Height: The A15 piston has a 30mm pin to crown height, while the A14 has a 32.5mm height

Earlier A14 blocks were slightly different. The A15 oil pan has slight bumps in the side to allow the larger crank to swing without touch the pan sides.
