What do i need to replace the Crank?
I need to replace my crank shaft on my W10, Long story short, flywheel came loose and sheared the bolts off of the cank and messed up the mating surface

I have a few SR cranks and was wondering what parts do i need to order, Gaskets, rtv, bearings??

I have only 1 week spring break that i can work on this, so i'm trying to get all the parts first so i can replace this and put the motor back in

thanks

Rod bearings, main bearings, the two little half bearings, Front main seal, RTV for the oil pans, I think maybe a gasket for the oil pickup, and if you want maybe a new timing chain/cam install.

Its not a hard thing to do. Just time consuming.

Yup you pretty much covered it. Little half bearings are thrust bearings. make sure and use new flywheel bolts torqued to spec and use locktite on them. The locktite is very important from what i have seen.

You can reuse the flywheel bolts if your having issues with money though. I always reuse mine. Ive never bought new ones. They are super exspensive. Just make sure you tq them to spec.

You don't want to use loctite on those threads. They just need to be torqued properly.

Ive always used loctite on mine. Tq them right and put loctite on them so they dont back out.

The factory ones don't come with loctite on them, i believe Nissan actually recommends not using loctite, IIRC. Either way, do as you please
