Excuse my ignorance.. Embarassed

I have a complete Type 3 engine but its missing the crank bolt that goes in the front of the engine. ( Through the fan into the crank)
Is it the same as a Type 1 engine or not?

I figured it might be longer, to make up for the fan!

Again, excuse my ignorance... haha
Thanks!

I'm no expert but I'm guessing the spike during cold running has everything to do with the roofing tar(20-50) in the crankcase.

I have one. PM me.
And they are torqued to 90 ft lbs, where T-1's are only torqued to 35 ft lbs.
