5E crankshaft

[Burny]

I am in desperate need on a 5E crankshaft if anyone has one?

[Taggy]

oh no has somthing gone wrong with the 5e? I have just put a deposit down on a complete 5e engine too, gonna go pick it up on the 7th from Derby. £120, bloody bargain, all the ones i have seen have been £250!

[Burny]

Thats awsome, toyota are charging £560 for a crankshaft, i need one urgently i cant even find nothing on ebay now :/ let me buy it off you lol give you more for it!

[Taggy]

whats happened to the crank shaft you had?

[Taggy]

I would help you out but I have been looking for about 2-3 months for one to come along, sorry dude!

[Burny]

The crankshaft is cracked mate from when the bottom end give way, the machine shop said its pretty much scrap :-( pissed off now this bill is just going to be silly :/

[Idrees]

Rare as rocking horse shit tbh. Try all the breakers yards you can find, also drop a PM to GTnomez, he MAY still have his spare one if you're lucky.

I didnt know the bottom end had gone on your car, when did that happen? Did it go after they had put it all back together at tuning developments?

[Burny]

Thanks Iddy just PM'd him. No Craig it went about 4 months ago thats why i decided to forge it, turned out it had 5EFE pistons in there lol its been off the road ages now and now this has happened, there still waiting for the high lift cams so it couldnt have progressed much further yet anyway so i have a few days to find one or looks like im going to Toyota

There was a guy selling one on ebay for £230 near reading i think, it didnt have a head so I didnt bother with it, but it was still for sale when i checked last. It was an ebay listing that ended with no bids, give him a msg

As you only need the crank and he hasnt sold it see if he can do a deal:)

Thanks Craig your a life saver, didnt see this when i looked on there, gonna drop him a PM now, offer him £150 for the crank, he can still sell the block then if he wanted

[Idrees]

Incase that fails, here's another option: Instead of paying almost £600 for a crank, just offer this seller £400 for the car, replace the engine with a 4E-FE then sell the car on?

[Taggy]

the ebay ad finished middle of december, but i sent him an email middle start of jan and he still had it, if hes got it still i bet hes up for selling it.

[Burny]

Ive just sent him an email and just gave him my number and said to call me, dont wanna put him off on the first email by simply saying break it i just want your crank lol hope he doesnt take long to reply haha im hoping to be boosting by March!!

[Burny]

Thanks mate just sent him an email asking how much postage would be :-) its looking like i can find one after all :-)

That ones no good it has been reground and Mike doesnt now how far it has been ground down :/

[grum-glanza]

i remember when i was building my car after the first 5e went kaboom i was planing on using my old crank from that engine but the person building the car sed to me that the crank is matched to the block that if you use a different 1 it might not match up and run bearings just something to thing about i dont think you want another engine gone i dont no how true this is tho but that was what i was told

[Burny]

I think thats why they machine it to suit mate and use different size bearings etc, im no expert either mind lol pretty sure you can use different cranks though.

[Idrees]

That ones no good it has been reground and Mike doesnt now how far it has been ground down :/

I'm sure it says it's supplied with bearings, so why would you need to know how much it's been reground? Or you could ask the seller how much it has been ground.

Another crank will work fine, just as long it has the bearings to suit if it's been ground. If it hasn't been ground then you can fit the crank with OEM bearings and it will work fine. You could always double check with the machine shop if in doubt.

[Burny]

I spoke to Mike and he said it was up to me but he would rather me buy a used crank so that he can use his machine shop to machine it so he knows it is spot on, im not an expert at stuff like this so dont really no :/

[Idrees]

That makes sense.

[Burny]

I've got my hopes up on a 5E bottom end that ended on ebay last month i messaged him my number, also the username that you give me Iddy, il give it a week otherwise i may have to go to Toyota lol ive been lending my mothers car for 4 months and shes starting to get slighty pissed off with me haha

[lugzy clart]
