Hiya all.
I'm having a bit of a clear out and have a K11 1.3 crank shaft that may be of use to someone.
It came from a 40k engine but unfortunately I was supplied an incorrect big end shell resulting in the engine siezeing 2 mins after first firing up. Cyclinders number 2 was the offending cyclinder resulting in a slight mark on that journal (as pic)
I would imagine it would need a regrind but I don't have the knowledge to know for sure.
To me it's just a paperweight but it might be of use to someone.
Free to a good home, just cover postage.


 
Out of curiosity, how was the big end shell wrong?

How did this cause a seizure?

The original plan was to put 1.0L pistons into the 1.3L but whilst taking one of the big end shells out I put a tiny scratch in it.
I needed a replacement so I contacted Nissan. To cut a long story short, many emails were exchanged and Nissan guaranteed me that they had sent the correct shell. I'm a bit green when it comes to things like this and accepted that it was the correct part.
Fitted it and the engine, fired it up, it ran for 2 mins then a puff of smoke and a squeal and it seized. Turns out it was the wrong part.
