hi guys
possible major problems with my lude

heard a few strange noises after coming home from work yesterday,then this morning when i started the car i just knew something didnt sound right

and now the following vid is how it sounds now.

i am hoping that its the crankshaft pulley as you can see a slight wobble off of it(this is the used one i got from Lude Dude) but its that noise thats puttin the shitters up me

possible bottom end damage?

HELP!!!!

listen to the vid and give me your thoughts please

cheers

maybe one for @PerformanceAutoworks @Buzzonion Vtec

I've not had a pulley go on my Prelude yet, but when it went on the missus BMW, that's exactly how it sounded. You can see a little movement in the vid, bu hard to see how bad.

Jack up the passenger side, take the wheel off and check the movement from the access hole with and without the engine running.

In the grand scheme of that noise, you'll want it to be a pulley problem.

your not wrong mate

the pulley went before ,the movement was a lot worse but the ticking i cant remember

cheers nick
just need to confirm it is the pulley and obviously get a new one
the last time it went it was very obvious what it was this time im not so sure
the crankshaft bolt is still tight its just that noise!!!!

no problem
if it helps any ive got an old 4th gen crank pulley that came off my BB4 - the keyway is slightly enlarged but otherwise its in good condition and could do until you can source a new one - its being used as a door stop at the moment

are you planning fixing it yourself?
