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

      New Honda prelude at Goodwood

      Well, in the same way that you can't tell any SUV from any manufacturer in any size category from any other one, "sports" coupes now all look identical. Stand back and squint your eyes and the Supra and the 400Z and the GR/BRZ things all look the same. I was just thinking last night, when sitting behind a Subaru CrossTrek, that I have no idea what it is, how it differs from an XV, or a Forester, or an Outback, or anything else Subaru offer, and I couldn't tell if it was supposed to be small, medium or large. I contrasted that to the good old days, where a HQ Kingswood had familial similarities to an LJ Torana, but there is no way that you could confuse them, and how a bit later, the HX Kinger and the concurrent Torana and the Gemini all had familial similarities, but you still could not confuse them. Ditto the ugly Fords and Chryslers of the era. But now, a RAV4 looks like a Kluger, looks like a Yaris/Cross/whatever they're calling those stupid f**king things, looks like every other Toyota that's not a Camry/Corolla sedan.

      The Prelude doesn't look that bad without all that lens distortion in those pics. Makes it look disproportionate when it isn't. Actually I kind of liked it at the Osaka Auto Messe earlier this year.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Pour in the highest octane, non-ethanol fuel you can get and see if the readout changes. If it's dead bang on 11% then I would question the sensor. Another quick test, just take it out and run normal (in an american accent) gas-o-line through it and see if the sampled ethanol or lack of changes.   United E85 here in the land of drop bears does vary a bit, I've had as high as E87 (could be water in their tanks too, who knows)

      Yep. And if you ever do, you'll just have to deal with it then.

      E10 is pretty tightly regulated in percentage. Too much and engines can't adapt. Every incentive is against them to have too little ethanol though. The more ethanol the higher the octane.
