    Hmmm,
    That’s a shame. Seemed too easy.
    I did know about the big ends. Im assuming the wrist pin, is a little end? (That’s what Aussies say)

    so if its got bigger big ends, the crank must be slightly longer?

    Not a reply. Just a question we have an N14 block which is all good, But Heads for natural gas irrigation engines are becoming hard to come by. Question being can I swap from the heads up with 855 parts?

    I believe it would just come down to push rod length?

    Depends on the N14. The early ones were Big Cams
