Morris C8 Crankshaft specs.

[T Creighton]

Hi all,
I have a C8 engine block at the reconditioners but his Morris specification sheets only go back as far as 1950 and I need to find crankshaft and bearing specs for my 1940’s 4 cyl, Type EH. No.3552 engine.
The crankshaft will need to be ground to at least 10 thou under size.
The big ends are not a problem as they will be re-metalled to the re-ground size but I need to find the dimensions and hopefully, part numbers for the various oversize main bearing shells.
I do have a very good C8 manual but it does not go as far as this information.
If anyone can help me out with this it would be appreciated.
Regards, Terry

If you could trust anybody on this forum, Terry would be a good guy to start with.

Mike- that is indeed a great offer. If you are sure of the postal system I would like to take you up on it. Thank you very much.
You can rest assured that I will get it back to you.
I would scan it to disc and could send one back with the book.
Please let me know what you decide and I will PM you with my postal details.
Lynn- thanks for the kind words: I am humbled.
Regards, Terry.

Mike, Terry, it appears we might be able to do it from here, without the risk or expense.
It seems the same book has already been copied to a disc which recently arrived in N.Z.

That is good news because the Post Office want $50 to post the manual to NZ
