donwag Hey Ralph, you think this would cause an oil pressure problem? Crank from 401. PO put on a new oil pump to "fix" the oil pressure problem. would you believe this engine actually ran with a busted crank. Not very well however.
donwag Hey Tarrior, you are in my neck of the woods. I have the block and rods from this engine and they are fine. Obviously, I need a crank to rebuild this puppy. Would you have a line on a 401 crank or know someone who needs the block and rods?

Goose This seems to be proof of the old saying.."Give an Idiot a Rubber mallet and a sandbox and they can break anything".. The cool part is it actually still ran..sort of the ultimate "It got me home"Story.
donwag Don't know how tight it went. This was in a Jeep Wagoneer. And, it was really trashed. Oil pan had scars. Offroaded very hard and put away wet.
