Pajero crankshaft pulley - AWS
Friend has just been told that his crankshaft pulley has worked loose on his 95 2.5 Pajero, evidently this is a common problem, has anyone any experiance of this?

His 4x4 was drivable to the garage and was showing signs of rougth running below 1500rpm but above was OK, eventualy the drive belt came off and all power steering was lost etc.

The garage is saying that the end of the crank is damaged and therefore he would be better getting a replacement engine.

Views anyone to the extent of the damage?

Quite likely the nose of the crank is damaged. Probable cause is not tightening the pulley bolt after a cambelt change. A new crank is going to be rare and the cost involved in labour to replace it plus the cost of bearings, rings, and gasket sets seals probably more than the vehicle is worth to do the job as I presume it is a 'grey' so a good secondhand lump is the way to go.

Depends how bad it it,but we repaired one buy welding a new pully onto the crank,2 years and 15000 miles ago.Certainly cheaper and easier than replacing engines.
