I've been reading alot on cut and polished 4g63 cranks and it is really back and forth... Some people turn em with no probs and others say no way.. Has anyone had experience with a turned crank? This motor won't see big hp numbers and I would like to run it but not if its a ticking time bomb...

This is true.. I had that happen on a 22r...

really surprised it wasnt clackin away lol

well...i finally got my 4g out and tore apart and its a good thing i went this route instead of just the bsek ...the oil pump gears cover and pump houising are toast from the bs bearing falling out. unfortunately it took the main/rod bearing and crank with it...ill post some pics later..so now...

not to beat the dead horse but im about to do some rewiring of my own...not sure how far yet but what i need to know is there a specific year na 1g that is more plug and play than others? my maf wiring looks good so i wasnt going to touch those...but the cas, 3 temp sensors, injectors...

that last one i think is where ill go...i have a ffwd bsek...thanks for the info...

this is more like what id probably need...click

Ive used these guys for a toyota 22r and worked fine...click

Thanks thats good to know..I was thinking that a tear down might be needed. Apparently the bearing actually fell out right after installation...the guy I got if from told me that he had the oil pump and cover replaced at a shop and right after is when it started knocking/poor idling/leaking...

Hey all.... Just picked up #659/1000 ...This is my first vr4 and just wanted to say hello... She needs a little love but nothing crazy... I was told it has a bad balance shaft bearing, not sure which one yet but there was bearing chunks in the pan last time it was serviced... I plan on doing the...
