Came with the crankshaft in the BLMC box years ago when I got stuff to store
away for my retirement (29 years to go). The chamfered edges seem to have
been ground roughly as the surface of the metal almost looks torn (Like a
crumbly cheese that has been cut with a blunt knife?) More light grinding
and they would just fit into the bores. The original grinding must have
been done AFTER the rod bolts were put in as one of them has had a bit
ground off the edge. The part numbers are almost impossible to read but I
can see 12g15????A?8??? cast up the side of one of them
