alright, so i was just informed that i have a spun rod bearing, and it's the cause of the knock i here from my engine. thing is i have no idea how bad the damage is to the crankshaft. hopefully its minor and i can just replace the bearings, but worst situation ill need to get my crank ground and possibly get oversize bearings for it. can anyone find any info on how to take a crankshaft out? ive tried looking and can't find anything, or maybe someones had experience with this?

 

removing the crankshaft is easy.
and having an air compressor makes it alot easier.

remove all your oil pan screws and oil pan
remove the "oil collector" i believe its called. the part between the oil pan and crank.
remove oil pump and the other side plate.
remove main bolt that hold the crank
remove rod bolts and lift crank.

i removed all parts from my B16A2 short block. i will take pics of everything i mean and i will post them here

 

gotta have the tranny out too........everything else Unseen said sounds good though. pretty simple process.

 

the trany has to be out?
i dont think so? you can just remove the fly wheel

 

how ya gonna take the flywheel off with the clutch on, and how ya gonna get the clutch out with the tranny in?

 

you can remove the clutch with the tranny still on.
i think. well i wouldnt know since my dad got me a gay *** auto car

 

i dont think ya can with a manual. i dont remember ever seeing a cover you can take off of the bellhousing to get access to the clutch. so if you cant get to the clutch, you gotta pull the tranny off to get to it.

 

anyone with actual experience got any input?

 

i have actual experience pulling a crankshaft.
duh!
but w/e.

yes i know that, im talking about whether the tranny has to come out or not. you said you only know about autos, ive never done it on a honda so i dont know either.
