Title: 454 crank problem
Post by: Curt95 on July 10, 2007, 04:33:44 PM

I had a problem with my 454 the engine just sounded like it died.  It still cranks over but the harmonic balancer was shaking around so I took that off. Now the crank looks to be bent or maybe some bearings out.  What do you guys thinks, how much work do you think I have in getting this engine back up and going.

I've seen the cranks break right in the 1-2 journal a few times (454) sounds like what you got there....
