Hey all..im just wondering...will a SOHC engines "crankshaft" work on a DOHC engine?...i blew my engine and f**ked my chankshaft up but i know where i can get one used but its from a SOHC engine....will it work?...if so i think i can have my car back runing in no time!!

 

as i understand it, the SOHC lower end is exactly the same as the DOHC....so, yes, it will work.

 

i found out that the SOHC crankshaft is CAST, whereas the DOHC is forged....but...to confuse it a little more; someone with a 91 EGT(DOHC) said HIS crank was CAST - 'cause he saw the casting marks on it.... so??

 

well will it work or not?..anyone?..pleeeeaasse lem,me know

 

the fact that the SOHC crank is 'cast' makes no difference in it fitting; its just that a 'forged' crank is *stronger* than a 'cast' crank; but i really don't think of it being a problem unless you start making big HP(turbo,etc)

now i'm just hoping someone can CONFIRM that it will fit....Jesse?? or anyone else in the know?
