Since this section goes more general, I decided to move my thread here. Here it goes:
Due to my old-aging SOHC non-vtec engine, what occured is that one end of the crankshaft which connects to the pulley broke...... got towed to a workshop, but the tauke said that have to change crankshaft, crankshaft bearings and also most of the seals since my engine is also leaking oil quite severely (gote quoted RM1300 overall). My question is, I understand on the seals part, as since they are already dismantling the engine, so might as well change them. But on the bearings side, is it necessary? They said the new crank might not fit into the existing bearings, something like either the crank of bearing shifted size after all these years. Is it true? if I do not change the bearings, will it leak oil? Afraid that I got BS'ed by the tauke. Advices are really appreciated.
*Upte: Just received feedback that my crank pulley also need to be replaced... got quoted RM210 for USED pulley... i mean.... speechless... start to feel like i will get sotong big time by the workshop already...
