Re: B23 vs. B230F 200 84

The B230 rod journals are the same on early and late versions. The main journal diameter on B21/23 is 62.51mm +/- (2.50"). The mains on early B230 are an even 55mm and on later they are an even 63mm.

The cranks are not interchangeable due to balance and dimension.

The B230 cranks are a cast with hardened journals. The cranks seem to give just as good service as the forged units in the B21/23 version.
