Need An Engine Crane

[SECURITY]

anyone?

[Haysey]

i hired one from kennards years back... not too pricy

[SECURITY]

yeah i think kennards is the go.

[cowie165]

Joe if you use Kennards could you please post the hire fees please mate?

[SECURITY]

i ended up borrowing one from my brother in laws mate who owns his own workshop.

if i end up paying for it the next time round i'll post it for sure mate.

kennards makes your job easy

make your way through the website and it will give the hire rate for whatever you want

[Craved]

$50 for 4 hours

$280 brand new forever

i can see why i bought one for myself...

[Duncan]

hahaha obviously becuase you are intending to catch up with me in the blown engine race

kennards have made a business out of hiring stuff for half the price of buying one outright....then it plays with your mind....would I ever need this again or will it just take up space in the shed.....

[Craved]

ummm i dont think i wanna get near you duncan..

havent blown up and engine yet, and dont want to..

i just pull motors out of cars for fun..

currently converting lancer to manual cos auto is soooo annoying lol

but yeah, it can be used for heaps of stuff really... not just engines.

[wilch]

wanna pull mine out then chris?

Did your dodgy engine-in 'rebuild' go sour? Or did you come to your senses and decide to remove it and do things properly?

Yeah picked up a crane & engine stand a couple of weeks ago.. about $400 for both including a jack. Good investment if u plan on tinkering with things that go BOOM under the bonnet

it wasnt dodgy you moron. just because i dont need to take a motor out to fix it, it doesnt mean it was a dodgy build.

the problem ended out being the gtr rods i bought werent standard size (big end dia.). that was the only reason it didnt go together properly. so how about you keep little comments like that to yourself till you know what actually happened.. mmk pumpkin.

You tell him .....

Ah well we all learn by our mistakes.

Good luck with it this time, if i was you i'll check the crank for runout as well.

This looks like a job for the SAU NSW Tool Library

Thats the reason i dont use them ( they take to much space in my shed), i use a chainblock , it doesnt take much space !!

crank is going to have everything done to it, including balancing. the heads going in for a service too.

Good to see you are not taking any risks this time around, make sure your crank guy is someone you can trust to do the job right ( a lot dont ), i always check it myself when i get it back .

Bearing clearances are very important too, make sure you check or have someone check them for you .

Dont rush things , take your time assembling and checking more than once and you will be right this time .

Are you reboring the block ? If i was you i would ..

[Duncan]

Good to hear security

[SECURITY]

nah i didnt do a re-bore. clearances were fine with the hone and i got good pre-run in compression when i had it on the road before it stuffed up again.

crank and bearings are coming in on monday so it should all be back together before the next weekend (fingers crossed).
