I need some help. How can I find out if my crankwalked block is useable and worth something or trash? The crank did touch the main but just barely, it just chamfered the edge a little.

 

What's with everyone and the crankwalked blocks... This is scaring me lol...

Take it to a machine shop or a known Evo shop to determine if it's usable or not

 

I would think it would still be usable as long as the surface the thrust bearing sits on isn't damaged.

 

ok cool thanks. anyone else? looking for more input...

 

not only can the surface that the thrust bearing mates with be damaged, but so can the surface on the outside of the block where the pulley may have grinded the case when pressing the clutch. This happened to my evo 8, I haven't assessed the damage yet but I heard a loud tapping and saw the pulley, so I am assuming it will be significant damage
