Recommend A Shop For New Crank/bearings?


Recommended Posts

Posted

After being told categorically not to buy a crank that doesnt have bearings set to match, I am looking for the best value place to get these. I will be splitting my block and fully rebuilding. I basically need new rings, a new crank and big end/main bearings. Dont think i need anything more than that for a rebuild? (unless im being daft lol)

I tried API/GrahamGoode/RCM etc etc. These seem to be hittin around 400...............for just the crank lol.

For the aforementioned parts, will i be looking at about 600 odd quid?

cheers

RCMS should give you the crank and bearings in a kit, ask them the price, but £600 seems about right for the whole deal.

emoe savin my day again. thats cool. I been weighing up my options fella, and to be honest a new engine for 750-800 and sell for 2000-2200 ot a 600 crank and bearing set then sell with orig engine with full rebuild (providing we get it together working) and sell it for 3k or so.

Since we already put blood, swear and tears into splittin it down, I think i would much prefer to finish the job, throw a new crank in, complete the rebuild and see the job finished (mind you, by the time that is least the credit crunch probably be over! lol)

:lol:

I would love to keep it, really would, but I have since had to buy a second car for work etc, and the money for repairing the wrx is coming from my wedding fund ( :lol: ) so will need to replace it.

I will be in the market for another high powered motor once the wedding is out of the way. who knows what though lol.

By the by, Just priced new V1 EJ20K crank + ACL main/Bigend bearings, totaly £612 off RCM. not too bad takin no fitting fee.

Do I need anything else for a rebuild? anything I am missing that will delay the rebuild?

oh! nearly forgot, the 14mm service holes for taking the piston circlips out, there is one behind the flywheel, that is covered by some daft little wine gum style metal cover + 2 phillips screws. i'll be damned if I can get the bugger off and the screw heads are nearly stripping. Any suggestions? lol

If the crank is all thats gone, and you can see the bores from underneath, dont remove the heads or the pistons!

Otherwise youll need new gasket kit too!

Oh, and why not just park the car up, leave the rebuild till after the wedding?

That way, you keep the car, you dont have to buy another one, and theres no worries about using the wedding fund to fix this now!!

It will still be there when you get back!!

Hi there

If the engin has run the mains or bigends then yo uwill need to replace the oil modean and possably the oil pump to.

You will also need to pay a fair bit of attention the cleaning the block out aswell as the sump to remove the bearing fragments.
