Hi, the crankshaft can easily be pushed back and forth 4mm. The flywheel grinds already at the engine block when domes. The problems are known. A Hanover-based engine repairer of the known is said to have stood many of these engines and already had. It should be because the clutch pushes too much force on the flywheel and the guide bearing grinds off. That’s exactly how it is to be seen with degraded oil tank. There is no longer a collar and the Crankshaft can be moved back and forth very easily with a normal screwdriver. It is much more than 1-2 mm. It can have already taken the KW damage and the bearings have to be adapted etc. There are different dimensions to buy. However, the owner is frustrated because of the targeted price. With motor expand, remove attachments, install control chain from and on and disassemble engine and adjust crankshaft bearings and possibly work crankshafts up to 2300 Euro Used engines don’t make any sense because you don’t know how strong they are already closed. Supposedly, it would be enough to have the engine always standing at the traffic lights with the clutch kicked in to destroy the guide bearing. To do so, let the engine be reinstalled and the gearbox and the wheel wheel be paid for it again. This could cost 4-6k in extreme cases. Supposedly, a new crankshaft costs 1300,- and 600 deposit. Opel also has no AT engine any more what ungla The wear has to be extremely fine, there is no visible teeth to be found. The driver is totally disappointed and hopes to get the car back with a cheap experiment in which just the storage shells are renewed. What do you think ? Do you know the problem ? The engine makes apart from the crankshaft absolutely no noises and runs normal. Whether you might even install the guide bearing at other camps so that you can more than 1 guide camp has ? If it fits and space is there ? Just on God’s graces renew the storage shells, oil flushing and driving ? Of course control running surfaces etc. Is there any help threads to the problem ?
