Hi all
Please can some one advise me on changing my crank. last year i rebuilt part of my engine again and was about to sell the car when on the morning it was about to be sold the bottom end started banging. i traced it back to a worn crank ( its gone oval around the shells on one piston). I have a new crank and im wondering if i can remove the one on the car without taking the engine out again. I know the crank does come out of the bottom. but can i just move the gear box over and slot it down. please if any one has done this can they please help. Thanks all
SORRY ITS A ERST WITH 1.8 zetec botton end.

I've changed a crank with the engine still in, had to drop the gearbox though to get the flywheel off.
If you dont have a hoist and/or cant be arsed with disconnecting everything up top then it's really easy to just drop it out and reaplace with a new one, dont forget to have the new crank meassured to make sure you are using the right size shells!
