MG TD TF 1500 - Crank ID

I have a crank from a TD. Unknown year. It has the following ID:

168557
ESF&EM or EN 27

The first is the part number. The second I assume has something to do with the type of steel used.

Can anyone tell me if this is a updated crank from the ones that had a tendency to break in the front?

Thanks

Yes, that is the later TD, TF and Wolseley 4/44 crank. Evidently better steel was used but they still seem to crack on the 1st journal.

Joe any chance of a pic showing the part number? I've had one made using an original as a template & wondered where the P/N was located & the type of font used. Cheers

Thanks Joe. I'd assumed you were describing the crank handle not the shaft! I believe the later crankshaft was referred to as the 100 ton crank. Cheers
