think my essentric shaft has bust
car vibrates and sounds like single diesel tractor
has anyone had this problem
whats the likley damage
danny
Won\'t be your eccentric shaft it\'s more likely you\'ve blown it up. Get it compression tested. Also try new plugs or check the map sensor hose.
2weeks till comes apart
pulley on shaft now has a wobble when turning over
blown this before doesnt feel the same
Ooh sounds strange, only suggested its popped as I\'ve never heard a shaft go, I\'ve seen a front pully am attachment shear causing a pully to wobble.
will keep u up to date
will know soon
Shafts can be bent, normally will take out stationary gears and bearings all needle bearings and spacers at the front.
If there is lots of copper I would change the sump, oil pump even maybe oil coolers unless you can clean them well.
Have taken off the front pulley to check it, it could just be that if the crank sensors are not picking up correctly due to a bent pulley.
cheers jd

front bearing destroyed itself
anyone have any ideas what could cause this
got strong oil pressure low temps etc
Hi Danny,
Hope your treatment is all going well mate.
Any progress on this eccentric shaft issue?
Or can you give more details of what you have found on disassembly?
Thanks, Mike
I\'ve just corrected the spelling of the thread :Giggle
cheers buddy
spelling not my strongest
should be rebuilt in couple of weeks
rx8 shaft balanced rotors
another 1000 mile run in zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Danny, real sorry to hear you have had more problems.
Get the front pulley checked as I have known these to get bent and set up an imbalance in the engine.
This can happen when the gear box is pulled off and due to FD mounts being at the back the engine falls forward and can damage the pulley, I always used to wedge a wooden handled wire brush under the front pulley to stop any chance of this happening.
the pulley is brand new dm motor sport
the front bearing just exploded
hopefully be finished for le mans trackday
How many miles had the engine done before this happening?
not many but couple of trackdays
2000 maybe
rx8 shaft and rotors back from balancing
should rev to 10000
got be done for 3rd august le mans trackday
and 18th for god of pod
nothing like a deadline, fairplay Danny :)
