Anyone know the cost of a dyi evo rebuild? had it rebuilt 4 k ago but just broke the crank....

 

Costs vary depending on what you do.

 

Man, WHY am i hearing "I'm your sister, I'm your sister"

 

1800 to 5600 all depends how screwed up and what your comfortable doing. Crate motor might be the way...

 

TD you are getting scary man!!!!!!!!
When did you start hearing voices?

To the OP are you planning to do the work yourself or are you going to have a shop do it?

 

darn , don't think I've ever heard of a EVO braking a crank before , Did it brake the cases as well ? might just go with a crate engine what kinda of HP where you putting out with your engine ?

 

I have

The later 3 piece cranks have been known to break

Axle shafts require a higher grade of steel than flywheels

This steel is more expensive

Chances are the grade of steel used for the 3 piece crank was possibly compromised as a cost saving measure - this is only a theory maybe somebody with inside knowledge would be able to confirm this or otherwise

 

Joe, it would help us to know in what way the crank is 'broke'! If a bearing has failed you may be lucky and be able to rebuild the bottom end. If the crankshaft has suffered a fracture, the damage is likely to be much more extensive. It's difficult to answer your question and may not be possible until the engine is dismantled.

 

The first evos had the 5 piece "shovel" crank...somewhere around 86 they changed to the 3 piece design...and the first ones where notorious for breaking the pinion shaft...very common, even with stock HP.

 

Never saw the movie "Joe Dirt?"
