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

 

Buying a new engine will be cheaper. Sorry for the bad news, cuz.

 

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

 

get a jdm d15b there cheap and will be easyer that doing a crank job and youll have a lower millage motor.

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.

i would also like to know the answer to this question.

 

WTF... Ive never heard of a Stock Honda motor snapping the crank in half. i wanna see pix!!!!

 

werd....how the hell did that happen

 

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!!!!!

 

hey the crankshaft has snapped just before where the pulley bolt in connected dont hav cam so cant get pics.

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.

my pics of the damage are there, Go thru the whole page....

 

How many different ways can cause a crankshaft to bend?
