save it and turn it into a lamp or something etc, sorta liek a trophy lmao
or just throw it out
this will be the first time ive every really hurt anything liek this other then throwing rods out the side of the block lmao




lmao somones gonna come in here thnking i wanna know if it can be fixed

 

turn it into a stool leave the fly wheel on onr end and mount a seat on. leave to pistons on and wld the journals so they dont move lol iv seen it done but with a v8 crank a 6 might be to short

 

not a bad idea

btw could u start a new thread and post pics of ur car witht he 4.3 swaped in. ive thought about doing the same swap as some of the other members here and would love to see some pics

 

i dont have any new engin bay shots but i cant post some pics i try and get u some engin shots

 

hey you could make it into the throphy for the faste v6 thridgen, if thats still on. i'll save you the time though and just pm you my adress.

 

make a table out of it, put a lamp on top. and put it somewhere kind of hidden, so when people do notice it they will be like"WTF!!!!!"

 

Use it as a beating stick for the first guy that wants to take your daughter out.


Is it noticeably bent? If so, snap a pic for us .

 

its still i n the motor, in responce to ur ? about the boost spike in the other thread, i think this was the result of that. since the turbo was mounted over the cs pulley i never noticed it.

at first i thought the balancer went bad but apon closer inspection i noticed the bolt in the cs also was moing around, so i pulled the ballancer and pulley threw a dial indicator on the cs snout and pun the motor over, sure enough shes bent. just about .250

 

eek!

I make garage stools out of my extra cranks. I used a 350 flexplate on a 3.1L crank that got gouged. I then bolted a 15x7 RS wheel to the top. Its actually pretty comfy. I also have a honda D15 with flexplate that has an old Neeper rim on it. Lol.

 

So it's really a flat spot in a journal?

 

no more then likley the crankshaft is cracked, a flat spot would not make it wobble like it was. once i have time to get the motor out of the car and disassemble it ill take pics of the carnage.
my quess is its cracked between the #1&2 rod journals or right in between #2 rod and #2 main

 

I wanna see a "bent" crankshaft!

 

what else can i say? good work man, good work.

 

Yeah, I guess that's what I was getting at. You can bend forged steel, but even the "steel" v6 crank will break, but I have seen some weird stuff in my day.

Ever see what 30psi (tuned of course) will do to a cast piston as soon as detonation hits it?

 

I'd make a lamp out of it and put it in the living room.

 

well i said bent but u cant bend a iron cs, though if u crack it without breaking it it apears bent. which im sure is what happened. with .250 runout on the snout im sure the thing is just about to break.motor also happens to only have 5-10 psi oil presure at idle.it wont be long before its out of the car so ill get pics up soon

 

HMMM, it's funny, but I thought "what would happen if I bolt the rod cap back on and turn the boost up to 20psi, just to take a pass at the track".

 

i idle at about 20 psi on a motor with 75k, then she moves to 38-60 higher up...im in the green right? because it kinda makes me nervous at idle.

 

lol ffb u know a rod bearing is liek waht 5$ lmao, but if u kick the rod out of the block u riun a perfectly good block

 

I know that's the only thing stopping me (ruining the block).
And yes the bearing is $5, but when the last one spun in the journal - replacing the bearing will last maybe 200 miles. But yes the bearings would be new if I were to "band-aid" it, but when I just got a rotating assy for a 3.1 for $75 delivered....

Remember, my crank and rod(s) are scored.



HOWEVER! If I sell this MegaSquirt, the 3.4/3400 hybrid will be comming sooner than thought, WOOT WOOT.
