Would the splines not be cut prior to any heat treatment therefore isn't it reasonable to expect that they'd be the same surface colour as the rest of the component if made during manufacture?
Rory has now determined that the flywheel taper has been enlarged to fit onto the bigger crank. Was this crank installed with the narrower AC front bearings which would require spacers to be fitted either side of the bearings however, possibly a spacer has only been fitted at the front which would move the crank backwards and therefore the clutch plate nearer the gearbox. Rory are the little ends of the conrods sitting central in the pistons or are they forward of center?
I'm in the wear camp on this one.
