Strange question for the day.
My crank pulley flew off my engine yesterday....car still runs and from what I know about car engines, the engine should be fine to drive home 15 miles.

I know of drag cars that have no belts on the crank pulley but how long the battery will last is another question.

My main concern is if the balance has been thrown off now by no pulley attached to the crank.


Car: 1997 Integra RS

Thanks

um no crank = no water pump turning... no bueno.

Save a lot of money now by spending a little money getting it flatbedded to where you can get fixed. Don't limp it home, you'll be very sorry.

i think on an itr the waterpump is on the timing belt so driving home was
no problem but the car will stall as soon the battery is getting low
you could drive it to get it fixed but drive normal

The timing belt cog slides on and off once the pulley is removed. All it has to do is walk off a little and you're head is toast.

Thanks guys.
The water pump im pretty sure is not driven with the crank pulley. But as far as cog (no idea what that is), I dont want that to happen!

It's just a gear. It's sandwiched behind the pulley.

If the crank key comes it the timing chain gear will spin on the crankshaft and it will bend every valve as well as destroy pistons.

Don't crank the engine


Not to mention the car at hand is a Integra, that does have a water pump driven by the timing belt.
