theres some pics. its out of a b17a

 

Polished? At the very least I would say it needs to be undersized, and probably a good idea to magnaflux it to check for cracks.

 

It is history

 

hah **** that sucks!

 

LOL throw it in the trash or make a stand with it.

 

o well i got the whole thing cheap so no loss to me..

finding another b17a crank is like finding a needle in a haystack.

 

anyone happen to have one ?

so is it better to find another one, or get oversized bearings??

 

Is that the longblock that was for sale on RevScene? I'd say scrap the bottom end and throw the head on an LS B18 block. You'll get a boat load more torque and it'll cost about the same as replacing the B17 crank. B17 cranks are pretty popular for building motors with sweet rod/stroke ratios, and since they're somewhat rare, they don't come cheap.

 

does the term "spun bearing" do that justice?

 

yeah it was, and yeah ive thought about doing my LS to ls/vtec..

 

man my brother had the same thing happen he got it fixed and oversized bearings works good.
