i threw a rod through my block and made a big hole and i getting a bare one for my new pistions and rods but i was told i besides the other stuff that i needed a crank b/c my old one maybe isnt ne good, so will they be talking about a crank pully right?

 

If they talk about a crank, then they talk about a crank. If they talk about a crank pulley, then they talk about a crank pulley.

 

what does a crank look like cause on my local forum someone guys said they would give me one for like 30-50 dollars, so im guessing they shouldnt cost much

Something like this.



It's what the rods are connected to inside the motor.

 

what engine is it?

If you threw a rod I doubt anything's wrong with the crank pulley, and "crank" is usually short for "crankshaft" - not "crank pulley" -- So it'd make sense that your crank is fucked up, they usually do when u throw a rod, but I've seen pple throw rods w/ no damage to the crankshaft

You have to bring it to a machine shop so they can spin it and see if it's weighing out of circle in any particular area, teh crank has to be balanced to work right...

You'll probalby need a new one, at 8000 RPM's a rod the size of a breaker bar getting slammed around your block 133 times per second is going to do some damage...new block, crank journals, crank, pistons/rods(obviously) because you need a set w/ equal balance so if u intend on replacing only one, it has to be the same exact one...and you have to weigh each one with a scale that emasures to the hundreth place to make sure they're equal or else they're no good..

Look at the brightside, you can usually salvage the head (unless the timing belt snapped), IM, EM, oil pan...all the sensors...everything around teh block :-\

What type of engine do you have?

 

i have a d16z6, but yeah the shop owner doesnt know if i messed it up he just suggested by looking at the hole through the block that the crank may be gone. so how much do u think a camshaft run?

 

so far for my setup i have vitara pistons and scat rods and new water/oil pumps which he recommended, gaskets, and camshaft seal. and now looking for a z6 block (bare i guess seeing i have all that i need to put in it)

 

well obviously u'll need a new crankshaft...why u looking at new camshafts?

 

the cam seal he told me i needed a new one dont know y really, on ebay what would crankshaft be under, i buy all parts their brand new

 

car + truck parts?

&gt;&gt; Honda OEM crankshaft

 

huh?? so how much do crankshafts run cuz some ppl on our local forum offered for me to pay 30-50 dollars for theirs

 

u dont need all new pistons and ods i just replac 1 on my frinds crx still good

Well this should give you an idea, a new OEM crank through honda is more then $1k.

The cheapest route might be buying a shortblock (engine with no head).

But you could probably find a crankshaft (not CAM) in the classified forums. Most cranks can be repaired though. The machine shop welds material onto the crank and then grinds it down until it is in spec.

 

kool thanks thats what route i though i should take didnt know they cost so much for a crankshaft

 

buy a used engine from a salvage yard and put it in
