So i need some help asap. Skip to pix if you dont wanna read.
Last night i was driving me car and hard some rattling on the driver side. I was about 20mins from the house and said i would check it in when i get home and it did go away when i got on the freeway.
I get home and the ps belt is lose. It was around 1am so i didnt feel like tightening it up and said i would do it in the mooring. Let it set over night.
SO just now i get int he car and get ready to drive. turn car on and hear the noise and said ahhh i forgot to tighten up that belt.
Fix that and noise is still there and sounds like its getting louder.
Look under car and crank pulley is moving.
took crank off and the key way on the crank is messed up. Looks like the bolt back out and then the key got f'd up and the crank rounded off.
I need to know how to fix this ASAP its my only car and needed to go to the store today and will need to have the car for tommorrow.
Ouch!!! Um I don't think that is fixable...maybey if the woodruff key still fits in there you can try to put the pulley in but idk how long that would last. I think mainly your going to be looking for a new crank

yea key is bad but i got another key and the pulley itself is fine.
Its just the crank thats bad. I am thinking of trying to weld it and grind it smooth but idk if that would hold or do more damge then good.
Cranks are very hard. You'd have trouble welding it and having it hold. The key 'may' hold for a little while, but you'd better find a new crankshaft, or a replacement engine.

Don't got the cash.
I was planing on replacing the motor income tax time since this one needs an over bore on cly 2 and 3 at less. Well comp is low in those 2.
Also I have a y7 crank, but it looks like one of the mains needs smoothing. Plus wouldn't have the money to get that work done and get a engine hoist to remove the motor.
So in other words you guys are saying I'm screw?
And of the pulley comes off while driving what will happen?
It shouldn't effect the motor right just the belts no alt or ps?

Well yeah your screwed unless you can rig some way to make it work temporary and I mean very temporary like welding it like you said.
If the pulley comes off while driving you are ok as long as the timing belt doesn't come off while driving. If that happens well your pistons are smacking valves

Yea just tried it up tq to around 130ft lb and hope for the best. Other then that I'm screw.
I take my girl to work and pick up my mother in law from work cause she throw a rod in her sarutrn

I would probably consider tack welding it but make sure everything I set and good then tack weld it and drive it until it blows then later you can get another block
i would just grind that messed up area smooth and cut a new woodruff slot exactly 180 degrees from the original one. That would be the best econo method without spending a dime on new or used parts. Probably would need some cobalt cutting bit but depends how GUNGHO or desperate you are. You don't even need to remove the crank to cut a new woodruff slot and I would guess 1 to 2 hours depending how detailed you want the new slot to be.
I did a fast pic with paint and I guess you see what I mean. good luck homie.
Look up my crankshaft thread. Essentially you drill a hole through the timing gear perpendicular to the crank snout. Drill a little bit into the crank snout and then tap the gear hole for a set screw.
I used a drill press to drill through the gear and then marked exactly where on the crankshaft I'd need to make the divot. You can also make two holes if you'd want more hold but one set screw plus the old woodruff key has held up for over 10,000 miles.
maybe a dremel with a carbide cutting tip would work but it is gonna take some time as it cuts very little.
I used blue thread locker Loctite after installing the crank bolt.
the next econ way is to buy a crank from the scrapyard but that would need removal of the crank and tranny meaning more down time and not a quick solution. you decide homie.:kiss:

no car really sucks man, shit I am here without a car for almost 6 months
can't wait to get behind the wheels of my civic and kick the shit out of it before it gets too cold and the tires break traction whenever boosts comes in.:ssst:
Ok so I’m trying to tension the power steering pump where it needs to be and realized the car didn’t have part of the items needed to do so.
My question is what other piece do I need to complete this so it will stop squealing randomly?
Portion missing is piece that the wingnut bolt threads into...
So I'm going to start that I need a new starter and dizzy for sure but cause I hook up a z6 harness to a y7 block ? And I'm thinking about just getting a z6 block and putting it in
Need a second opinion here:
I have an 89 CRX Hf that had working AC, not amazing, but it worked. I assume it was R12 as there were no converter nipples going on.
A while back someone hit let head on, broke the radiator and mangled the condenser, but didn't rupture it.
I decided since I was...
