So we were driving in my bro's turbo tc and all the sudden it starts running funny, gets check engine, battery light, no power steering, and temp shoots up. We are like wtf? It was only 2 blocks from home so we idled it there basically.

Got home and noticed the belt had come off, jacked up the car and the crank pulley is cracked and hanging there just cause its snagged on the belt. Pretty sure the crank shaft is scratched up so he needs a crank pulley, crank shaft, and i think we are doing rods and pistons, might as well right.... Its weird how this happened, and the crank pulley isn't damaged at all.

 

WTF!

 

lol i had the same ____ happen except my pulley didnt crack my belt broke off!

 

Yea! at first i thought he blew the engine, there was oil and coolant everywhere. The coolant bubbled out of the reservoir and and oil was coming from crank. Guess we will be pulling the damn engine and tranny once again (just did the clutch) and learning how to do a rebuild along the way.

 

Wow. it cracked the fin crank! dammmm........ Pics of that!?

 

didn't crack the crank, but the output shaft for the crank pulley is scratched up bad.

 

well im missing half of the shaft that the clutch sits on in my tranny casing soooo nothing can be that bad lol.. ull be ok.. hopefully u didnt fry the headgasket

 

that is crazy

 

you said it was leaking oil from the crank.. ifs thats the case the crank is damaged!

 

dannnggg that sucks man. gl with the fix

 

not realy....you see the broke "coller" on the crank pully? that has a seal around it that is pressed into the timeing cover...look at yours. iv had a nissan altima crank pully crack on me and destroy the seal. crank was fine. not saying it didnt hurt that crank on the 2az though.

 

from that picture it looks like the part of the crank pully that broke is where the keepers would slide through....are the keepers still on the crankshaft???

 

I don't think you'll need a new crank. Need more pics!

 

We might just end up putting a new engine in, he was having trouble with valve clearances also. I might be able to score one for under $600 if thats the case then we will just do that.

 

I'd be skeptical of that, unless you know where the engine comes from. The lowest I've seen running 2AZ's go for is about $1200.

 

true true...running 2az go for about that much, i get rebuildable cores for less than 600.

 

did u guys by any chance left the engine hanging off of one motor mount (passenger side) or dropped it too quick when doing the clutch swap? That could of jammed up the pulley against the engine bay frame and do some damage.

 

good point but idk...i could see messing up the outer parts of the pulley but the inner part idk cause the pully is on the crank fairly tight, it would take some sort of play in order for it to crack like that.

 

yes, but you don't know the people i do, they rebuilt a buttload of cars on a weekly basis. I got 07 engine with 20k for $500 but thats cause I do all the cameras, networking, computers for them.

 

Can I haz hookup? lol PM me please Gompka, I have been looking for long blocks that are rebuildable, 07+
