Crank identification please .

Hi ,
I would be grateful if any one can identify this crank .
The crank mains appear to be 53.63/53.64 , big ends 51.45 ?
Only just received my 2”-3” Mitutoyo so sizes might not be reliable but hopefully so .
There is a clear number on the crank 7597498 .This seems to relate to ;
Fiat-Lancia TIPO,CROMA,COUPE,DELTA INTEGRALE,THEMA,KAPPA
I was hoping it might be 130tc comparable ?
The bearings are supposed to be 130tc standard and appear to fit well but when thousandths make a difference may be not ?
Thank you . Matt

OK ,
Apologies ,
I clearly managed to set zero to a memorised figure a fraction off 2” - 50.8 so readings are actually ;
52.99 main
50.78 big end
Hopefully makes more sense !
Sorry , gosh , that learning curve never stops growing .

Still have not worked out how to turn it off . I thought it might do it automatically but does not seem to be the case so removing battery .
I would need an electron microscope to read the instructions , insanely small !
No on/off button .

Considering the vast wealth of F/L experts on here I am very surprised that there isn’t anyone who can provide one ounce of info on this request . Surely Covid has n’t had the power to destroy a seriously valuable source of F/L knowledge ?

Sorry I did not pick this up sooner..

the crank is not Strada compatible - the flats on the crank nose indicate that it's for a late style crank nose driven oil pump - unlike the Strada where the pump is driven off the aux d/s.

Size-wise the Delta series of that genre have dimensions to the Strada..

Good morning Guy ,
Thank you for your answer .
Does that mean that it would not fit or that it would fit but one would need to go dry sump ?

The reason I grabbed this crank Guy was due to the fact that the fully rebuilt 130tc engine I purchased has had its crank ground and new shells fitted . I believe you say that the 2.0 cranks must not be ground so I thought if that were the case this might fix the situation ?
Thanks , Matt

I missed this post originally. Off topic, but I noticed your Mitutoyo question. The Mitutoyo calipers do automatically switch themselves off (eventually).
The batteries in these last a long time. Unlike cheap calipers, when these switch off they power down. Cheap calipers switch off the screen, but the electrornics are still active. That said, I use mine very rarely and remove the battery as I am worried about the battery leaking an damaging the terminals. If you dont have a set, the Mitutoyo digital 'vernier' calipers are lovely to use adn worth every penny.
