That's the one sorry!
Oh well, I'll just have to live with it then unless I can find a cheap engine orca garage that will take a part ex.
I assume it's a part that can't just be swapped out?

You can't swap it with the engine and gearbox fitted, and the cost of a new crankshaft would be way more than a decent s/h engine.

I'm assuming the timing belt drive gear has slipped on the crankshaft.

dont see how the crankshaft is causing a flatspot, what happened to the car previosly?

I think it's something like that. The end of the crankshaft has worn.

The car suffered a worn camshaft causing the cambelt to move around. The parts that fit into the camshaft were replaced so it now idles properly, but when you put your foot down and expect a surge of power, instead it revs up without gaining speed until something clicks then your off again.

Pretty sure I seen someone on here selling a great spec Engine that would be perfect for you.
Just cant mind the guys name ?

Ritchy 16-09-12 09:48 PM

sounds more like your timing is perhaps out a tooth

Yeh I did see that Marcus but not sure if it would seem as powerful? Then again it does sound a decent spec. How much you after? It's giving me a headache now though. Do I keep it running like this or go for a new engine/turbo. Trouble is ive spent around £750 already and it's still not right :(

It is mate but the garage said its the best they can do with the worn crank....

worn crank will knock not cause power loss
