crankshaft pulley problem.
so i have a problem, its something to do with my crankshaft pulley.
I dont know too much about fixing everything, but i'd like if you guys can give me some advice or help me out here
so I was driving my integra from GA to NC... and once at the destination, I lost power steering right when i turned in... popped the hood and looked and my power steering belt had loosened off and was free. i pulled it out and looked at the engine bay (while it was still running).... the crankshaft pulley was loose because i could see it wobble. so I got some tools and tightened the bolt that held the crankshaft pulley after i turned off the car....
i tightened up... but i would turn my car back on and then after about 20 secs... I could hear the rattling of the pulley getting loose again and wobbling...
so let me know if you guys have ever experienced this and fixed it or know of some solution. thanks in advance guys

Re: crankshaft pulley problem.
if the bolt was cranked down very, very tight. spec is somewhere around 130 ft/lbs, you're gonna need to remove the pulley and check for wear on the inside diameter of the pulley. and check for wear on the crankshaft snout. the crank is a much harder metal, so it's more likely the inside diameter of the pulley is out of round.

Pray the crankshaft is not fucked..this happened to me on my eg sedan. Just take the pull out and look at it and the threads for it on the crank shaft.

Re: crankshaft pulley problem.
I Bet at the minimum you will have to swap out the crank pulley, Had this happen to me. Got a thread chaser, chased the crank tread and installed new pulley, havent had a problem since.

Re: crankshaft pulley problem.
There is a wood ruff key that holds the crank pulley from turning on the crankshaft, I bet it fell out or its not there no more, check and see if its there, its a small rectangle shaped piece of metal that slides in a groove in the crank shaft between the crank pulley.

Re: crankshaft pulley problem.
MM&Y of car would help, but assuming it's a B18 engine...

As mentioned, you may need to replace the pulley, it may be damaged and out of balance. 94
