Hi guyes, engine is out, crank is off and gone for regrind etc

 

couple of q's

 

1. Is there anything else worth checking, replacing while its out? So far Im guessing clutch and light flywheel seeing as they had to come off, turbos seem fine wastes open, no play in shaft etc or scoring on housing (on blade has a tiny tiny dint it in, i guess something found its way in there.

 

2. Where can I get new main bearings from that will allow a regrind? ive got big ends but not mains :(

 

3. Where can I get a new (or working 2nd hand) oil pump and crank sprocket? i think oil pump is shot (cause of the ends going??) and bured a couple of the teeth on the sprocket when getting it off (tight as anything that thing was!!!

 

Cheers

1 - how much do you want to spend?? personally i would have the pistons out & check the bores, re-ring & hone the cyls at the very least.

heads off & overhaul - valves & seats recut or just cleaned up & lapped in.

reassemble with a full engine rebuild kit from courtesy.

 

2 - there not that expensive from Nissan, or try Mike Feeney @ MJP, or the engineering co thats grinding the crank may be able to supply them (mine does)

 

3 - i would only replace with new TBH. again nissan, MJP, or the machine shop.

 

also, many take this opportunity to do things like water pump, cam belt & pulleys. PCV valves & hoses. EGR removal.............

 

the list could go on & on!!!
