like i said...the plot thickens...lol if i new pulley will fit over it like its supposed to nice and snug, im going to prob throw a new key in also and weld it all in and together.although this would last prob forever. but at least until my buddy gets one of his engines out of his few civic he has laying around and i might put another engine in it....but ill make it work and work right...
im also not worried about high rpm, its auto and the baby momma willl be driving it so it prob wont eve go over 3k rshared_pm lol
but all in all, i just needed to get a better idea of what im working with so i can start making calls and come up with some ideas for right now....i can have another engine installed in a day, as im sure most people on here can. but this ones runs flawless and just hit 100,000 miles...so either way, it will be worth fixing. my teg right now has a welded crank pulley bolt. the fucker kept coming off so i said fuck it and threw a couple tacs on there lol and its 5 spd and i spin it pretty high and i did that over 1 1/2 ago and no problems...
also the crank doesnt look ate up at all compared to the pulley. idk if i posted pics of the pulley yet, if i didnt i will in a few. it ate the pulley pretty bad but the crank looks fine...weird shit. just a harder steel, thats all
i already know the people are going to be all over my ass about welding a pulley or welding anything down there. yes, i know its wrong and ghetto, yes, im a cheap ass, yes, ive done this before and seen the results and none have returned...im also not saying i condone this action as a great fix. but if your in a pintch and cant find an engine or dont know how or dont feel like tearing your motor down to install a crank, it will get you by for a while...or prob until you dont even have the car anymore lol
so im already expecting the shit talkers, feel free to call me ghetto and its not the right way and so on and so on...im also a certified welder, i went to school for it. so if i do end up welding it, it will be done right.
but here you go! enjoy my pain and suffering and hopefully this doesnt happen to any of you guys!
