i just bought a 90 civic for pennies,the crank pulley does not turn with the engine. i am hoping something is missing or the crank bolt was x-threaded 1 time and and ill be able to fix. anyone that can help? havent had time to impact bolt out yet,its been snowing and very,very cold.if you can tell me how it works i would very much appreciate the knowledge

 

10-4 thanx much!little warmer today,im gonna check it out.

 

if the whole thing turns on the crankshaft then the woodruff key is missing, but i saw on my friends civic the pully was fu**d the outside pully was not turning but the center was, he needed a new pully

 

Yeap.

I would get a new pulley if the key slipped. Its not pretty, you will be able to tell real easy.

 

I would check the woodruff key. If it is missing, replace the Pulley/Key/Bolt. Btw I would drive anywhere...This means your alt. is not turning either!

 

thats what it was, thanx guys! problem solved and thing runs great.,
