Default crankshaft snapped of can it be fixed.

Hello I own a 1992 civic the other day the crankshaft snaped in half. I am wondering if this can be fixed and at what price or is it better off buying a whole new engine.

Thanks

Unless you can tear the engine apart and do it yourself, getting another engine will be cheaper.

even replacing the crankshaft will cost more than a "new" used engine. espically a d15

first of all, ive got a couple questions.

how do you know your crankshaft snapped in half? thats VERY hard to do. espically on a stock engine its damn near impossible.

seriously. A stock Honda crank, even a D series, should last forever, and take probably 20psi of boost, stock. Only problem could be SEVERE wear, like a bad rebuild.
Was a oil like fucked up? Cause lack of lube or a spun bearing could contribute. PICS PLEASE!!!!!

Oh...just the snout broke off. That's not uncommon in high mileage engines. Just buy a junkyard motor for $300 and you're golden.

I just had the samething happen to me, it beat me out of $1100. Timing belt almost fell off. Thought my alternator went out.. turns out my timing was off from when the belt was done it reversed and snapped the pin/pulley right off causing all belts but the timing to come off.

I got owned being it was sidework, with no invoice. My crankshaft sustained minimal damage.

How many different ways can cause a crankshaft to bend?
