Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Ok i have just been out 4x4ing today and have hada a crank bearing let go. Ive got it at home now but cant get the sump off....all the bolts are undone. Now WTF is the go? ibe beaten the shit out of it with a hamme and acheived nothing

Trying to go 4x4ing again tomorrow morning...early


HELP ME PLEASE

MOTOR---Std 2F Petrol

if you've undone all the bolts then nothing should be holding it in except for the gasket and some silcone...

use a bigger hammer

try get a gemblade inbetween, run it all the way around then try the hammer again..

Get a blade or chisel around it and hammer that in to seperate the forker

put some beef on its just a bit of goo holding it on






a blade of some sort could help yes ...

Ok i got it off using a jack to the chassis

Now there is a slight bit of scoring on the crank shaft will it be ok to wack on some good condition 2nd hand bearings even though the crank is slightly scored?

Adam

its a 2F, anything will be good enough. hmm for what its worth i'd put some other bearings in and try it. how badly destroyed were the bearings? make sure that the crank shaft isn't elipsed

If it damaged then i will have an almost complete 2F(out of a 77 FJ40) next weekend

You can have the whole motor for $150 if ya want, dont know if it goes but would give you another motor to rebuild without having the truck off the road


Just a thought for ya


Cheers

Ok scoring wasnt to bad but the bearings were worse than the crank, ill sap it over and see how it goes. If its no good i have a spare motor so thanks anyway barney

No prbs mate

Will have a few more spares of this thing so if you need anything let me know and will see if i got it

Does anyone know wat price im looking at for the 12 new half bearings ?

I might just do a full swap and do the job properly.

Your not going to do the Job Properly unless you get the crank Re-Ground. But if its only slight damage you may get away with just linishing the crank. But its only a short term fix. Bearings should only be around $50. Make sure you run an Oil adative after this. Something like Slick50 or Nulon. We use Nulon in all our buggies and so far have had no problems and i run mine with no oil pressure lots. We Use the Deisel Engine Treatment as its about 1/4 of the cost of E20 and does exactly the same job. http://www.nulon.com.au/

Should i be replacing the main crank bearings as well?

What caused it to spin a bearing in the first place? Have you checked the Mains?

No i havnt checked them, i just pulled off the spark lead and the knocking stopped so i removed that big end bearing.
