Need casting number for the light 1994-96 1.8L Protege crank
 

I've got my 2002 VVT engine out of the car and the crank is pulled out.

Would like to go back with the 10 lbs lighter 1994-1996 1.8L Protégé crank and try that out.

Need the casting number on the crank to order one(remanufactured).

Anyone have this info?

Your solution is one way to get a crank, but it may not be the correct crank, and it's much more costly, and alot more effort.

I can make a phone call and get a reman crank shipped to me for about $300 , but I need the correct casting number, and there are 3 different castings for the Mazda 1.8L for 1994 to 1996.

There are 4 different Protege cars these came in, and 3 different crank castings are known for the Mazda 1.8L(could be multiple platforms), so are all the Protege 1.8's from 94-96 using the light crank?

I have a suspicion that the light crank only came in 1 of these Vin pairs:
VIN A (5th digit), 1.8L, VIN 2 (8th digit), AT
VIN A (5th digit), 1.8L, VIN 2 (8th digit), MT
VIN A (5th digit), 1.8L, VIN 4 (8th digit), AT
VIN A (5th digit), 1.8L, VIN 4 (8th digit), MT

Neck size is 1.063", with Casting Number

Have you asked this question on a general Mazda forum, or even a Protege-specific forum?
