Soo I had a Rod Knock on my other crank on the 4th journal so I bought another one and installed it myself in my back yard! 😭 It was hard but I knew it was possible never done a crankshaft before but I had a pretty good idea so I installed it and torqued the rod caps to 23ft lbs and the grittle or crankshaft holder to 47ft lbs correct me on that if I'm wrong pls and what's it's official name Grittle? I used Hondabond also meant to say that.
After installing tranny back I put the d16y7 in time and put everything back and tried Starting her up and I could hear the starter trying to turn the flywheel and the crankshaft over and it was struggling at this point I have no idea what it's stopping it today I'm going back under the oil pan to see if I can see anything odvious but I don't remember anything going bad the crankshaft went in pretty smooth but, thanks for your time anything helps

 

Can you turn the engine by hand with a socket wrench on the crank bolt? You should always do that before trying to start. Turn counterclockwise, which is the way it rotates when running.

This sort of thing rarely goes well. A used D16Y7 in running order should not be very expensive.

 

Did you use assembly lube?

 

Compression test it and verify your getting proper compression across all cylinders.
