A few things
Hey all,
Well bad news, my motor has to come apart:angry: Basically what happened was i started hearing a weird noise coming from the clutch area. After pulling the motor to investigate, turns out the pilot bearing is effed. But that's not all i found! I take the gland nut out, only to find my flywheel really loose on the dowels.... So i pull it off, and the dowels fall out of the crank! I look at the dowels and they have been peened all over their circumference. (It's a dirty trick to make the dowel a few thou bigger to make them a nice press fit in the hole) The rest of the crank is beauty, real nice piece. But because of some lazy goon, who reamed the crank a thou or to over, they had to make the dowels a little bigger to fit! Now the dowel holes are all ovaled, and i'll need to put in a new crank! http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c3...8.jpg~original http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c3...6.jpg~original http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c3...5.jpg~original http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c3...4.jpg~original Not a happy camper.... On a related note, does someone have a decent stock peashooter exhaust? (stocker is going back in!) Alex |
That sucks big time! Where did you get that crank? Flywheel? Who assembled?
BTW buy the same exhaust as i did for my stocker. Call Greg. |
The car was running PERFECT too. Everything was sorted out (so I thought ;))
Cip1 crank http://www.cip1.ca/ProductDetails.as...ode=C13%2D8180 Bruck flywheel:http://www.cip1.ca/ProductDetails.as...C%2DC10%2D5099 Pat and I assembled it. I'll give Greg a ring, Alex |
I'm assuming you 2 didn't centerpunch the dowels. The dowels were in the crank when recieved?
Cip1 crank http://www.cip1.ca/ProductDetails.as...ode=C13%2D8180 Bruck flywheel:http://www.cip1.ca/ProductDetails.as...C%2DC10%2D5099 Ouch..... seeing those prices hurts. I paid a small fortune for my crank and flywheel. Well over 1K. Never mind the drive to Fisher Buggies in Florida, to pick it up! :D What'cha doing for a replacement? Pete |
Pete,
I'm about 8 months away from being a licensed machinist;) We didn't peen the dowels. They came like that, installed from the factory. Not too sure yet on what I'll replace it with. Something bigger probably. Maybe a flanged unit Alex |
That Hurts
Sorry to hear about your Crank Alex, I feel your pain you have worked so hard on your motor. Well this is a good time to plan to go bigger, if it's going to be more efficient and the same money. I wish I could help but ya know I am limited in that area.
Good Luck:rolleyes: |

Stock Exhaust
Alex,
I think I have a stock exhaust at my parents place. I will check this weekend. Jamie |
Jamie,
That would be great, send me pics and price if you find it. Brampton eh? Have we met before? Drawing a blank on the name :o Cheers, Alex |
Sorry bro, the peening trick is dirty, very dirty. Can't you bump up to a 11/32 dowel and save the crank/flywheel?

Yeah, it's a sickness. I'm in the same boat, I bought all the parts for a 1956cc and now am having reoccuring nightmares of 94's, 82's and other random thoughts. The IDA's sound interesting, are 2 sets available? :D Nothing beats the IDA bark when the foot gets heavy....

Alex,
I have the exhaust at my place now. It is a stock Brazil exhaust with no chrome pea shooters. I bought it off someone else here and I believe it has never been used. Hows $40. You can email me for more info and I am around all day Sunday. http://www.cip1.ca/ProductDetails.as...51%2D053%2DAJB Jamie |
Hate to say it but The cheap china cranks never have passed the sniff test with me. I seen major flex with them and I still have a couple of cracked ones kicking around here.
Crank and flywheel must be 8 doweled together then reamed for the proper press fit. If they are not then you're just pissing up a tree in a headwind. |
