Default Re: 2nd wreck in 3 months, SRT Totaled

Do yourself a huge favour. I had a similar issue with an engine swap from a donor that had a font end collision.

start it up and look straight down at the crank pulley. I did a complete rebuild and didn’t notice that the nose on the crank was bent from the impact. Everything looked great and I didn’t notice it until I installed the rebuilt engine and fired it up. It ran for 5 minutes I noticed the wobble and had to remove the engine again, drop off the bottom and find another crank. I had to fly to Texas to pick it up.

easy to miss and a PITA after the fact cause you have to do it twice.
also check the front cover for cracks. Mine was cracked where the tensioner attached to the engine.
had to get that part in Phoenix.
