i jsut recently relized that while installing my ls motor i broke off a piece of the crank pulley. where it broke was on the furthest outside lip of it, where the p.s. belt goes. im assuming this throws the balance off of it? i have another pulley but it is such a tight fit in a crx and im working wit next to no tools. i need to take it to my buddies shop anyways right away after i get it to run... it is about 4 miles away. will it hurt anything it i drove it them and used his air tools. take into consideration that it is a fully built ls motor(low comp.) and i do not want to hurt the motor!!

 

Do you even have to ask? If the word 'broken' is ever associated with a part, especially on a high performance engine, REPLACE IT!

Honda LS engines are not high performance engines

Now the B18C5 is one

BTW to original poster how big of a piece broke off the crank pulley?

Taken from the orig. poster.

Sounds like he thinks its high performance...

 

it will be ok to drive four miles with it...but use common sense dont rev to like 8k with it...i have a small piece broken off of crank pulley and have been drivin like that for a while...im sure i should replace it but in the mean time i think its ok
