Forgive me for not researching this, but why is the specification of the crankshaft being changed to one that is just a bit better.
Can the powers that be not just say "crankshaft material free".
I may be speaking prematurely here, but from what little knowledge I have, a Scat cast crank will not be as strong as a forged steel crank or a billit steel crank, or what about a Nissan one from the clubman guys that is good for about 200 bhp.
Surely we are at the stage when longevity/cost are the main priorities and we should be going for the best stuff available, or are internal politics still the order of the day.
