The car had a pretty rank vibration in the motor since ive had it(3 years), that was the worst right around 4000RPM, it did get slightly better when i replaced the balancer. I knew it was going to come apart eventually, im actually impressed it lasted as long as it did, 3 solid summers of abuse is alright for a $4000 car in my books
lol "the crank isnt supposed to be able to do this" *wiggle wiggle wiggle*
sorry to hear that man thats awful. how many miles?
Im not really sure how many miles it has on it, the car shows 150,000KM(im a canuck haha
), i dont think that the motor is original though, i really dont have anyway to tell.
Actually I have seen that before. I put a King Cobra clutch in my second 94 GT right before I sold it to my brother in laws son. He was out street racing and rev'ed the motor up at the light and dropped the clutch. I don't know how he did it with street tires but the car must of hooked quite well because it snapped the crank a little farther back in the motor. The balancer stayed in place but because of the shift it actually cracked one of the pistons. We ended up replacing the motor. By the way Im cleaning out the garage I've got a used stock crank if you want it.
The only reason the balancer came off is because(and this is only a guess right now) when the crank broke, it broke at front journal, and had nothing supporting it from flopping around, so the balancer got slammed into the oil pan/timing cover at 3500+RPM. And thanks for the offer on the crank, but i think im going to try and get a complete motor out of a wrecked stang, or maybe an explorer.
HOLY CRAP!!
