I just got a 92 vr4
ok I just bought a 1992 vr4 for $3500
 . It's all downhill from there, when i turned it on i hear a loud noise coming from the bottom end (crankshaft). So a few days later i poped off the oil pan and found three bearing from the cranckshaft sitting right under the oil strainer... now im taking out the cranckshaft and sending it to a machine shop.

Re: I just got a 92 vr4
Well I guess congrats and sorry to hear that are both in order. Welcome to AF.
Unfortunantly, this is problem that occurs every so often on the 91 and 92 vr4s. In 93 they replaced the original cast iron or mild steel crankshafts with forged nitrided-steel crankshafts that were much stronger. Rather than fixing this one, you may want to invest in putting in a newer forged one.

Re: I just got a 92 vr4
And another reason that happend is the previouse owner ran it low on oil. It was like half empty when I drained it. Same with the coolent. And to top that off he sad he ran it up to 130mph. While i was taking off the oil pan i noticed that there where only 3 bolts on it, the sealent was keeping it from coming off. One of the oil return lines had half a gasket on it.

Re: I just got a 92 vr4
I'm an idiot, I was looking for the last 45 mins, and 3sx was the first site I checked, and I somehow missed them, and kept looking.

They were in the 93 and up stock, but as far as I know, they are a drop in replacment that would work just fine. Call 3sx and ask if it will work in your car...I am under the impression that it will, but doublecheck with them for sure(they will definantly know).

Exact same block, any crank for it should fit perfectly. Especially if they just changed what it was made of.
