Crank won’t turn

nope, engine was fine. Does this look right?

 

But yes, a girl ran her nearly new Camry into a ditch full of water and it was locked and would not turn over, either way.

 

Hard to tell since the crank has so many uneven casting edges thoughout. I was also looking for signs of broken crank.

 

Well I'm about to call it a night but wish I knew what this is. Another member noticed it too. And is the piston hitting the crank weight??

 

I personally would pull the heads next they are going to have to come off no matter what the repair is at this point.

 

From another pic posted, looks like it was just an optimal delusion. What I saw was just the edge of the web.

 

Still looks off but who knows? Looks like its almost against main cap instead of between the weights

 

Dah, I should have noticed that. Same area, diff angle.
Thanks

 

straight shots of all of them close up in focus would be nice. That (#2) was an easy pull off.

Well, tomorrow then.

 

From this pic it sure looks real....

Doing a great job @Nickj67 Like others have said, keep everything organized and protect the internal surfaces. Thanks for keeping us updated

 

I'm in Charleston, too. I'm following this adventure closely with a kind of morbid curiosity. You're way past my experience or comfort level with the teardown, so I can't offer any real help. What I can offer is to bring over some beer and cheer you on.

 

What part of Charleston you from/ @?

 

i got some caps off 5&6 are a bit harder.i didn't tap on the pistons to see if the move.two reasons one what should I put on the piston to hit them with?two I want to pull the heads befor they go up to see what they may have to go through.what size allen head is that to do that?here are more pics of where we are at now.lets see if you guys see anything yet.my caps have guide pins so they will only go one way.is that normal?

This motor is mint i am so excited to see what caused the lock up.

 

Will the crank try to turn at ALL yet just a little and then turn it right back? Everything looks good so far.

 

not yet but all the rods are still sitting on top of the crank

 

Yes, when they are all off, see if the crank is out of it's bind. If it is free, then put that back together snug. No need to push yourself too hard tonight. Unless you come across something bent, that bottom looks great. Bearings also.

You're about to get an answer or back at square one on what it is.


I use a broom stick to push pistons.
