ok, so early 850 engines have a thinner engine/gearbox flange than 998/1098 engines.
did this ever change? or did the 850 always have a thinner flange? also dod the crank tail ever increase in size to the same as the 998 one?
thanks

not sure if the Poms had a thick flange 850 but i`m pretty sure we didn`t

& yeah the 850 ended up with the same crank tail size as all small bore
