Weekend Horror!!!!!!!!!!!

[honura]

Well I friend of mine from N.y. drove all the way down to pick me up in florida so I can help him with a swap that is in n.y. . He gets here with no problems. We let his 92 integra hatch(auto) cool off for 2 hours b4 getting back on the road. Figured the car needed some down time after being on the road for 1,100 miles. So after the 2 hours we get going. Gas up and get like 10 red bulls. . Anyways 2 hours into the drive the God DAHm crank pully bolt just snaps off and the pully started jumping up and down through out the whole bottom of the car. We jump out to find the pully. Huh that was fun I95 pitch black using a light off a cell phone. What a joke. Could'nt find the pully but find the other half of the bolt. Funny.. Anyways we drove the car another 2-3 miles with no pully off the exit and out to a gas station. We drove around again for another half hour trying to find a motel to stay for the night and see what we can do in the morning. This all happend around 4am. After driving around and not finding nothing we go back to the gas station and sure enough there is a dahm hotel right be hind the gas station. We asked the guy there working if he knew of any hotels and he was the one who sent us around looking. (ass wipe). Anyways next morning we try to find a tow truck who would take use back to my house. Everyone wanted $500+ finally found someone in the yellow pages who said $235. Took the tow home. After drilling and trying to get the rest of the bolt off there was just no way. We found another motor and swapped it in car started up no problems. I cleaned out the motor and engine bay after about 30-40mins later car just died. Pulled the distro cap out and it was wet. Cleaned and dryed it and car was running again. Errrrrrrrrrrr Dahm car suck. HEHE Anyways took a week off work for nothing and there goes my week off. Sorry if I posted in the wrong section but it all happend in a teg!

1. paragraphs are your friend.
2. what are you? a compulsive liar?

how the hell did the engine still run with no crank pulley?

[mr.crx]

it wouldnt i call bullshit

[reno96teg]

^ exactly. dare i say it again? impossible.

[bnuk]

why wouldn't it run? the timing belt and sprocket would probably stay on and it would turn because its keyed, so your cams and dizzy would work fine and the water pump would still be going so it wouldn't overheat. still kinda stupid though cause the timing sprocket or belt could easily slip off the end of the crank.

douple post...

[rugsr]

depending on how much the pulley was loose mabye it could still run. when the bolt poped did the pulley come all the way off. im guessing the alternator was still going cuz wouldnt the battery die......anyways thats gotta SUCK....if true. got any pics?
PS-anythings possible

[reno96teg]

he claims he lost the pulley completely..

[mr.crx]

if his pulley cam completley off then your cams wont turn no fuel, because the valves dont open so it wouldnt run. so there for i call bullshit again!

hmm.. i hadn't thought of that.. i guess if he were lucky and the belt held onto the sprocket, the worst that would happen would be that he'd drain his battery.

still.. fishy.

he said he lost it thats not possible!

My friend had a brand new batt. The lower plastic cover was on so that was the only thing keeping the timing belt in place. The batt died as soon as we pulled into the hotel. Dude On the other topic don't hate on me because Im a fast worker! I guess I just know more then you on using tools. Anyways I will post pics of the belt,crank bolt section, and all tomm. I have no reason to bullshit you guy's. My grammer is fucked ohh well sorry. Im not a writer in life. Sue me!

Thanks, Maybe it was an hour and 15 mins. (on the other topic). And yeah my weekend sucked big time.

Not to re-hash on the subject, but technically. Wouldn't the car run w/o a crank pulley? He just wouldn't have a working alternator, power steering pump and what ever else is driven by the pulley right?

A car won't run very long without alternator current, so I don't think it is possible to drive it more than a few miles even with the timing belt still attached.

I just find this somewhat impossible considering the strength of those pulley bolts, the crank key, and the belts holding it on would make it very difficult to snap off.

On a side note......My ac compressor siezed up once (shares belt with alternator) and I cut the belt off to get home. Anyways, I made about a 30 minute drive without a alternator. Thats with stereo and all lights off.

that's because your alternator was still working. the two do not share a belt.

Did you miss that I said the alternator shared the same belt as the A/C compessor? I am not a retard, obviously I was talking about another model car. I drive a Prelude. Next time I'll be more specific.

my bad. this being an integra forum, i assumed integra, where the two do not share a belt..

[bnuk]

I drove my old bronco 2 two hours with no alternator and it was fine. that was actually when I drove it to the junkyard to get my integra. traded the bronco in for a set of door panels for the integra.

[mr.crx]

well on an interga without an alternator and your lights on i know for a fact that you have power for about 15 minutes. i blew an alternater at the track and had to drive it home. just ended up getting it towed do to the fact that it wouldnt hold a charge and when we would charge it it would only last like 15 minutes
