Hi guys, need to know if the crank that belongs to the M52TUB28 engine, is good for the M20B28 conversion.

i've read all the threads on the forum regarding this subject already, but i dont have this clear.

Regards.

Yes it will work, with mods to the block so the counterweights clear. Basically thats why its easier to use the earlier crank as no extra work is required. IIRC.
