Just opened up a BP motor bought to rebuild. Not sure if the crank appearance is normal - all the counterweights have their outer edges machined, with some 8-10mm dia holes drilled a few mm deep (assume balancing drillings), and a couple of Very small drill marks - 2mm dia, less than 1mm deep. The cyl 1 counterweights have a couple of machined flats with numbers stamped in -2, K, 29.
Does this sound normal ?
Do the cams have any numbers cast or stamped on them normally?
thanks

Inlet cam on mine has BP and 05 cast on opposite sides of the shaft between 2 and 3. Exhaust has BP and 06.
