Jim,
When the factory developed the TR2, the Vangard rear crank seal was
upgraded with
the crank OD inside the seal cut with a thread, and the seal also was
changed. My Factory Vangard Service Instruction Manual shows two seal
configurations in cross section drawings, but no mention of a change during
production. The Manual is the third issue, with no date.
TR Regards,
Hardy

I had a motor that I donated to another TR owner. The motor
had the oil dipstick in the wrong position so I assume that
it was a Vanguard motor. I kept the crankshaft but am not
sure if the crankshaft was out of that motor or not. as it
was separated from the motor.
I have googled cranks and TR cranks were cross drilled where
as Vanguard ones were not.
How do I tell what the crank is out of?
Are there any photos on the web showing the differences?
Jim and the soon to be engineless TR4.
