Well. where do I start. About a couple months ago I was coming out of a red light and at a very mellow rpm my engine died. It just went from 3k rpm to nothin. I pull over and try to start it and all I hear is the starter engage and the engine flutters alittle bit.
Its seams as though the crank is turning over but when I look at the front end none of the pullies are turning. So I took off the crankshaft pulley to see what was going on. As I turn the crank over by hand I get to spots in the rotation where I hear a clunk. I do hear however, the compression stroke. I'm not sure if my crankshaft is broken, or if its the harmonic balancer that is broken. Oh and when I crank it around it definately does not rotate evenly around center. I am not sure what to look for in either one of the dilemas. Any help would be awesome.
Thanks,
James
