James_m 0 Posted July 6, 2007 (edited) Hi all Ive got a good S16 block with mint bores lying around, but a hammered crankshaft, and a XU10J2(306 xsi 8v 123bhp for those of you not up on the engine code's ) bottom end with a good crankshaft, so im guessing you can see what question is coming! Is the 10J2 crankshaft any good? I remember my mate going on about how great the S16 crank is with knife edging from the factory, but im thinking with the whole economy of scales things peugeot would have been better of making just one type of 86mm crank and been done with it. Unfortunatly, i dont have the XSI crank at home, so i cant really compare the 2. Cheers James. Edited July 6, 2007 by James_m Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
James_m 0 Posted July 8, 2007 Wrong forum.... Can someone move this to Xu performance please Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Richie-Van-GTi 71 2 Cars Posted July 9, 2007 Im pretty sure the xu10j4** engines use the same crank. If thats the case I can take a photo of one for you if it hleps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anthony 1,002 Posted July 9, 2007 On the engines that I've stripped, the XU10J2 and XU10J4 cranks are the same Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
James_m 0 Posted July 9, 2007 Good news, i thought they would be, Thanks people! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hilgie 16 2 Cars Posted July 9, 2007 yep..they are the same...all XU10s have the double balanced crankshaft except for the T16 which has a single balanced crank. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Miles 331 1 Cars Posted July 9, 2007 I have asked at Pug before now and they have different part number's, but they do look the same to me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
welshpug 1,657 Posted July 9, 2007 I think its just like all the engine blocks, all the XU10 iron blocks are identical, but have different part numbers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anthony 1,002 Posted July 9, 2007 I think its just like all the engine blocks, all the XU10 iron blocks are identical, but have different part numbers. No they're not! Certainly from the limited XU10's that I've stripped, XU10J2, J4, J4R, and J4RS blocks are all slightly different Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
welshpug 1,657 Posted July 9, 2007 strange, the J4 and J4RS I have here seem identical, what are the differences? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
B1ack_Mi16 67 Posted July 9, 2007 No they're not! Certainly from the limited XU10's that I've stripped, XU10J2, J4, J4R, and J4RS blocks are all slightly different Yup, I think it's mostly down to different headgasket pattern. Believe it's same for XU10J4 and XU10J4TE, and XU10J4R and RS, but most versions of the R doesn't have oil spray bares. Neiter has any of the XU10J2's afaik, while the XU10J2TE has spray bars. Quite a few small differences if you look closer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Miles 331 1 Cars Posted July 9, 2007 Talking of spray bar's does anyone know why the S16/GTi6 has full length ones and the 8v Turbo only 1/4 length one's? They both squirt the oil in the same position unless it's another Pug odd ball design Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hilgie 16 2 Cars Posted July 10, 2007 I *think* it has something to do with the piston skirts touching the spraybars on the 2.0T, so they replaced them with spray-nipples. But I cannot confirm as I don't have any S16/GTi6 pistons at hand. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
