The journals on the ej22t out of my engine has seen better days. I could get it turned, but it's really not worth it IMO.

The turbo and non-turbo cranks are the same, and if I can get a good used crank, that would be my preference, especially since I already got std sized bearings. If you have one that you think will work, let me know. I am probably going to be kind of picky , so if you have or can get pictures and possibly take some measurements on the journals I would appreciate it.

Thanks

the ej20k crank is the same isnt it

That I don't know....

I can give you an old EJ22 one from my garage when you come up to Boston, if you want. Looked to be in good shape, but I never measured anything. It does have about 250k on it. That is, if it isn't rusty. Might be a PITA to get on a plane, but I don't know.

i got pretty nice ej20k crank that was from a low mileage import 20k...

Ah Josh, come on - just stroke it .

Steve,

Can you take some pics of the crank.


I don't know about the ej20 crank. Someone else is going to have to confirm that.


Lee.....not sure if I want to do that, but am still looking a couple other options.

Oh, man. Yeah, but that means it's coming into the kitchen with me, which means it will stay there like the pair of pistons and rods and a melted exhaust valve unless you want it. I told myself no more kitchen-engines when I bought a house, but they're slowly weaseling their way back in.

That's alright Steve. I'm actually leaning towards just buying a new crank. With the money I'm putting into the other stuff....it's probably just a better idea to buy a new one.

Yeah, that's probably the best plan. Mine's most likely got a layer of rust on it by now anyway. I just figured if I was seeing you, I could hand it over since it's just another thing taking up space to me.

alright its all good

I got a spare crank from a Ej22t and 20G I had taken the Ej22t to my machinist buddy to measure it up andd it was with in spec ill get pics tonight, its at my parents house.

Don't know if your still interested in a crank but I got a link here to my photo bucket I got pics of measurements with old school callipers and new digital cheapos take a look.

My machine shop build sandrails out of older subaru engines and has tons laying around. I got a replacement crank, rods and pistons for $65 (although that's the friend price).

Thanks jamal. I'll check with them as well.

Jamal, you have a contact name for your friend or someone I could talk to that knows you?

Thanks

did you see all the ones on my photobucket? that's all i got i can get some of the journals to show you the lack of wear. also when i measured them up i got consistent measurements on the various journals which names escape me right now. oh and i haven't looked up what "in spec" measurement is but since they were all with in a few 1000th's i figure them to be A, O.K.

im on a computer now so ill post all picks i got now.

I guess I did not see a link to your photobucket website. Was it posted previously?

Yeah if you can get some pictures of the journals that would be great.

bammers there you go

Thanks for the pictures. I think I'm going to pass. The journals look to be in about the same shape as mine.

I do appreciate you putting the pictures up though.

What can you tell by looking at them they have some discoloration all the way around on a few journals. Oil starvation? Or what? I didn't see any cracks and they are all smooth w/o any grooves.

It's the discoloration on the journals. It doesn't look bad, it's just normal wear I would assume. With all the other stuff I'm doing to the motor, I'm probably going to have to buy a new crank to stay with std sized bearings. I really don't want to put a crankshaft back in unless it's polished or new/near new condition.

You should just polish your own crank.Polishing should not take away enough to need new size bearings.Tolerances can be a tad loose without you ever knowing the difference,in fact too tight is more of a problem.

Yeah, that's probably true. I'm planning to bring the crank by the machine shop on Friday for them to take a look at it.
