how can i tell from looking whether a crank is center or rear thrust bearing?

 

This thread explains it

i know all about the cranks thanks.

basically i need this identified to buy

 

you would have to obviously find out what block u haqve eg rear thrust ( best ) or centre thrust , the thrust bearing on the crank i think is not important as i believe the journals are the same size its only the block that changes from centre to rear and not the crank

 

i have a rear thrust block but want to know if the above crank will fit

 

I think that's a centre thrust crank as the centre journal wall looks to have a thrust face groove around it.

I wouldn't be buying a second hand crank unless I was 100% about where it came from.
So many dodgy ******* on here selling knackered cranks or cranks that have been reground. I would not be putting a reground crank on a subaru for love nor money.
