Got a garage to do some work on my rb25/30 and they have managed to destroy the thread in the end of the crank where the pulley is bolted on.

What can be done to fix it while the engine is still in the car.

Can I redrill and rethread the hole to the next size up from standard.

Also I have an rd28 engine here and I'm wondering can I use that if I have to replace the crank.

Thanks.

How badly damaged is it? i managed to damage mine one night foolishly... rang up an engineering mob and they said they could fix it no worries, they said they could retap it and see if it will hold otherwise they could tap it out slightly bigger and make a new custom bolt, I'd recommend finding a good engineering place and doing something similar

Its totally mangled the bolt. I might try a helicoil on it and if that does not work I will have to rethread bigger and use a custom bolt.

Sry to bother but does this link make my a$$ look too big ? :thanks:

Piston Bore Damage

look I realize that it was posted some time ago and my partners in crime at btk would like to apologize for not getting to it sooner . How you fell through the cracks I don't know .

If it doesn't ring a bell then ...

Nevermind and have a great day

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!

      I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.

      Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.

      I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
