crankshaft bolt sheared off/new crank pulley
hey guys,
recently the crankshaft bolt sheared off on our 92 civic breeze, causing the crank pulley to fly off and disappear. the keyway in the crank looks pretty good considering what happened, there is only a small chip at one end.
i'm in the process of trying to bodge it together (my mechanic won't touch it short of saying 'new engine or thousands of dollars for a crankshaft replacement') and was wondering if anyone has a) had this happen to their civic and b) saved the engine without replacing the crankshaft?
also i was wondering what the best wreckers to try are in Sydney for Honda parts. i did a search and hontoys and honbits in Smithfield seem to be popular?
depending of whether i am able to effect a good repair, it's possible this car will be headed for one of those wreckers soon!
apologies for my first post being about the possible demise of (in my opinion) quite a good little car
thanks

You should take it to Hanny's.

are Hanny's good? can they do a lasting repair on something like this? it's not a normal thing mechanics do...

Mate buy a new motor you can find one for 400 odd bucks same thing happined to me, it will keep on comming off because most likely there's no thread for the bold to hang on to any more, this is cause by a dogey timing belt change left the bolt too loose or too tight

Crank shaft replacement won't cost thousands!!!
Even performance crankshafts cost around $600 landed

The crank pulley flew off when we were driving my mates EK once. It was saved
Funny shit, I agree with e240. I say **** it and swap in an injected D16 instead.

I wish my crank pulley would be able to fall off, i think this particular bolt is the highest torqued bolt in the whole car.
I've also spent thousands at Honbits, and all their parts have been quality.

happen to me, my engine is now butted, then i put in a jdm d15b the pulley came off 3 other times after loctite and 180nm. lost a belt then found in 2 kms down the road LOL.

It is not uncommon to snap the crank pulley bolt on some EGs. Robert (from Hannys) shook his head when he did mine as he acknowledged it as a problem. No need for new motor if crank is OK.
