This caught my eye on ebay;

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/TVR-V8-AJP-ENGINE-PARTS_W0QQ...

It's the spacers that I don't recognise. I know that the 5.0 AJP variants used a taller block in order to increase the stroke/displacement and that this was done using spacers. It seems like a randon 'job lot' of parts, especially since the add claims they are new. Anyone know anything more about these spacers?

Well the cranks looks like the one that snapped in mine.



The replacement I got has larger counter wieghts on it.



No idea what the spacers are!

Would be interesting to know the stroke of that crankshaft, to see if it matches the spacer thickness

Might have been a bargain, is that a billet crank. Forged cranks are meant to have wide couterbalances, that one looks very thin.
