snapped crank - how much it going to cost?

[NOVA_LEE]

as above ive snapped me crank on me nova an was wondering how much its gonna cos for new bearing an a recon crank??

the thing thats blagged the mechanic is that nothings gone out of timing an nothing bent or broke besides me crank hmmmmm

[Lewis.]

what engine are we talking about dude?

[NOVA_LEE]

its a 1400 sri sorry mate

[John]

Loads, if the crank has snapped ill bet the block is cream crackered. Find a decent second hand one and fit.

[Lewis.]

you could probably pick a complete engine up for about £150-£200, which would be the cheapest and easiest option, as your better off taking the engine out anyway, and I would think you will struggle to find anyone selling a crank separately for an engine such as that.

[nova_saloon]

no engine for sale on ebay at the mo just looked for you. try posted up on here for an engine wanted. if you cant get one. suppose you could xe it. there easy enough to get hold of

lol lol I wondered how long before someone said "XE it" :p

[John]

The c14se was also fitted in the corsa b don't forget. Was one in my local breakers last time I went :)

[NOVA_LEE]

no to the xe option haha, yeah plan b was to get another engine as i was thinking it would be cheeper that tryna sort out problem, any 1.6 8v or 16v knocking about??

[pie]

c14se also in mk3 astra to

got a c14se engine here no loom or starter £60?

I've never seen a snapped crank, any pics?

I'd get the 1.4 from a corsa B mate,

[Stuart]

^^^ What he said.... I'd put money on the crank not being snapped

[Ben]

Ive seen a snapped crank before lol

But also agree with above two statements!

[bazil]

What is far more common is a scored crank due to bearing failure,
I've seen a few snapped camshafts though

[Royston]

I've seen a snappled crank, but it was on a 2 1/4 land Rover Diesel, if didn't sound nice running:eek:

But never heard of a Vauxhall Nova Broken crank, thought they're just about bullet proof;)

Got a 1.3 crank laid about if its any good......needs a regrind though

[GDN16v]

My mate thought he had the same problem on his xe calibra (snapped crank) but when we checked it over the main cambelt pulley key way had sheared off and it was just spinning on the crank when cranking the starter motor! I'd say check it again!;)

Nothing is bullit proof on a cars engine, there is always one way to break something!

[SR-Rally]

As said above id be surprised if it was a snapped crank. I'd definantly just buy another engine if it Is though. I've just bought 2 Sri engines with looms, ecu's and gearbox's for £50 each so few about and cheap if you look around.

ive seen a snapped crank when i was servicing at a rally on a mk2 escort with flappy paddle gearbox

dont think the engine could handle the rev change lol

This is most likely, the reason it still looks in time

[Royston]

Not mine!

Correct Engine here ...fleabay 180646035366

[sr jack]

I would try and find a 1.6 8v mpi out of late nova Gsi or more likely mk3 astras, they are reliable nippy little lumps
