That crack looks very odd indeed.   Cracks can go off at odd angles but those look extreme.

Also there appears to be no journal to web radius.

The usual crack on the TR 4 cylinder crank is at the #4 big-end journal to web radius and it runs is quite a straight line for the best part.

Hi Roger,

Yes, looks like a very enthusiastic amateur has had a go at it. Glad I decided to have it all checked rather than just push on with a rings and bearings makeover..
