Both sides gone loss?I will be very suprised if the flywheel will ever come loose again. It's definitely on. Not sure why it keeps breaking the key, we've modified the pulley face and nut so it's actually flat.. We checked it on a machine and both the nut and and the pulley were not straight.
Hobor becarful lol
No damage Andre just a pain to fix in this cold. Was out with brad last night and is still running fine.
Kyle the woodruff key in the crankshaft, breaks and damages the pulleys. Here:
The 36mm Nut can get a lot of torque.
Check the flatness of the crankshaft. Something is crazy there.
Sure no main bearing cap is at the wrong position???
To the cracked block, Punto 1.6 MPI I measured 2-3mm wall thickness at a bore of 87mm. Engine had 250hp. Spark plug damage killed the block.
With bad pistons without good off set you have higher forces onto the wall and you will find a crack later.
Open the crack and check the surface.
Old crack or over stressed crack. Fatigue crack etc.
It's the second crack I know from in 10 years where I'm reading about cracked blocks. The other was 1.3/1.4 engine with a bore of 87mm. Hörmann tried this as far as I know 20 years ago.
Some youth in Norfolk cracked a 1.4 block from the forum in a similar way but it was only ~200hp.
Only cases from the big bore I mentioned.
When you drive without water and you fill on cold water into the hot engine you also can crack the block.
A friend happened this - stupid....
Why does'nt the x1/9 block take the stilo crank?
I thought all the blocks were more or less the same, same bore spacing etc.
That's what I thought. It isn't the case.
No. There were a lot of differences in the cast.
