December 19, 200124 yr Dunno mate, please tell me you haven't broken one! They're forged to start with and semi-indestructable!
December 19, 200124 yr Author I have made a post about a 300ZX car I bought recently and there was a knocking noise from the engine. Finally I took it to the mechanic and he said that is sounds like the crank of the engine is broken. This means that I have to change pistons/rings/rods/ and crank all together. We havent open the engine yet to tell for sure if is that the case but that what he said and I am trying to find info about parts and costs. The car is running but at 2000 RPMs is making this terrible sound.
December 19, 200124 yr Bloody hell mate, cheaper to buy a new engine wouldn't it??? Nelson do one for 4.5K last I knew But I suppose if you're gonna max it up?
December 19, 200124 yr Tell your mechanic to stop talking BULLSHIT. If the crank was broke it wouldnt run at all. If you have a low end knock, then the crank big ends may have gone. This will require a crank regrind and a set of big and small end bearings. If you have gone this far then I would also suggest the following:- Replace clutch while engines out Have crank, rods, and pistons balanced If you have any money left purchase a lightened flywheel.

December 19, 200124 yr Or the cheapest and easiest option would b to get a new lump. I have a sweeeet engine if ur interested that will only cost u a fraction of the cost for wot ur thinkin of doin. Its only done 50,000km and is perfect in every sense of the word. Gimmi a call on 07961 543 786 if ur interested. Regards, Kash
Not the crank pulley.
