1.9 diesel b/e onto a willy head

Guest

Been told it may be possible so wondered why its not done more often if it is? Would there be much less power than a williams and any more than a valver?
Could be a possible alternative...
 
No thats just wouldnt work lol.

I think you / your mate is confused, the Crankshaft from teh diesel block has the same critical dimensions of that from a Williams block, so they can be used. The diesel crank is fillet roll constructed i believe aswell, giving you a weight saving.
 
you can use the crankshaft from an 1,9 litre diesel engine. it was done in romania on an f7p engine with clio rs 172 pistons.
 
Yeah i heard about the crank being similar, think there was a misunderstanding on my part
 
yea i really wouldn't be in to much of a hurry to use 1.9 diesel pisto
ns in a petrol conversion lol
 
Cranks do fit if i remember right, block is nooo way tho! You couldnt use the diesel crank on an 1.8 build as the thing wouldnt turn over as the 16v piston heights are higher
 
and its catches the bottom of the bores too with the connecting rods
