Take the time to read the technical library that has been so carefully assembled by ddgonzal.

Be polite and do your own research before asking slack questions like "how do u find out wat cranks is wat?????"

Use the lump between your ears and research. If you get given a crank that MAY BE a 1500 or 1400 crank then begin with a question like: does it suit an A-series? What engine did it come from? Is it a FORD crank or is it an ISUZU crank or is it a Datsun crank? etc etc.

it a datsun a-series crank and he had a box of bit for his datsun and he had a14 and a15 bits together so he did no wat the crank wasout of.

had a read and could find how to measure the crank stroke so i just put the number on the crank(h6240) into fast search and it came up with an a14 crank so dont need ur help now.
thank tommo for that bit of info

Text speak = lazy ass.

I thought it was a good question. Measuring the throw is somewhat tricky...the casting number is certainly easier.
