**** just gets worse...

look at my crank...any ideas on what to do here?

 

aww that sucks take it to a machine shop see if they can save if not ur screwed!

 

haha i work at a machine shop..ill see if i can weld it and then turn it on a lathe and mill a new slot in...

 

I have an extra crank but it would be expensive as hell to ship.

 

probably...

 

If it helps...I can pick up the crank from Bleach and ship it from Vancouver. I dont know if that would make it any cheaper to ship it from inside Canada as opposed to the States....

 

i wouldnt have to pay customs thats about it i think...i wanna get a cranks thats not damaged...this one im afraid to put in now...so anything iwll help

thanks for offering help you guys, yer great...seems like ill never get this car done

 

i've seen damaged heads get welded (piston hit broken valve and gauged the head really bad) and machined back in shape. so maybe its possible to repair your crank. How did it happen anyway?

 

I've got the crank from an '83 NA block. ...well, right now the block is complete. You need a front cover as well, don't you?

Anyone wanna help me dismantle a 280ZX?!? wow, what fun!

 

i do work in a machine shop as a machinist, now i havnt been there that long that i could ask the boss you know...i dont know if its ok or not. ill ask my supervisor what he thinks first then ill ask the shop forman
