crank kit

has anybody ever put a crank kit in a 86 mazda b2000, how hard would it be, and how much work would be involved

what all are you wanting to replace? anything to do w/ the crank & you'll have to pull the motor, if your going that far, i'd rebuild the whole bottom end since you'll pretty well have to tear the motor apart to do anything to the crank.

the key is broke and the guy i bought it from said it would need a crank kit put in it, what all shoud i replace in it

also is there a difference between a b2000 crank and a b2200 crank thanks

just the key, or the keyway on the crank? if it is just the key, you can only
get one from mazda (unless you can get a junk yard to sell you one, & i don't think they would sell just the key w/o the crank it came from) if it is the keyway on the crank, you'll need the crank and new main & rod bearings, so as i said above you'll end up tearing the whole bottom end down, and that would be the time to rebuild it.

you can change it while still in the truck but i would do that only if you did not have away to pull the motor cuase you have to take the tranny off. and NYTRDR24 is right if you gone go that far might as well go ahead and pull that thing out and rebuild the hole thing

my bad it is the key way, thanks for the help guys

A GUY THAT WORKS AT THE MACHINE SHOP WHERE MY ENGINE IS GETTING MODDED HAD THE SAME PROB, HE HAD TO FIND A CRANK FROM A JUNK YARD, BE CAREFULL OF THESE THO, THE CRANK COULD BE TWISTED, WHICH WOULD BE JUST AS GOOD AS THE ONE YOU ALREADY HAVE......
HE CHECKED W/ MAZDA ON A BRAND NEW ONE, NEEDLESS TO SAY YOU CAN GET A WHOLE MOTOR FOR THAT PRICE...$1200
