Pistons and rods are easy. Crank is difficult because it must be a taper shaft. I would look for another welder. Onans are pricey to rebuild. Or try to get the crank reground.

That '98 is going to have the 1" threaded crank on the rotor end and not tapered. If in fact you need a new one, I see them (take outs) on eBay from time to time with one there now (item# 131425998878).

If it broke a rod (not unusual) and has metal transfer to the crank rod journal (typical) it can be saved by simply going at it with some coarse sand paper and changing to finer grit as you go until the aluminum is completely removed. Have done this numerous times myself with Onan and other small engines running aluminum rods with no bearing inserts.

For parts, http://www.onanparts.com/ is one of if not the best place online to get parts and owner TJ is your #1 source for detailed information on these engines.

Thought they were of a taper, but safe to say they are more of a unique crank then standard. Never had a crank go bad in an onan, although have had them ball up aluminum from broken rods. Have seen many cases with holes from rods trying to escape the crankcase.

IIRC, it was just before mid 90s when Miller changed to the threaded crank/rotor from tapered.

Based on your description, saving this one is going to be expensive.

Is the block damaged such that it's not serviceable?

When one rod breaks it's advisable to replace the other - even if it looks good. Aluminum rods have a finite life.

I think the block would work ,if i dont find a
replacement for it.The small oil line inside got crushed an the outside were the lift
ers go got hit as well causing 2 lifters getting stuck in there bores

[lopez62566]

Ok,need help the block is not going to make it ,what can i replace the block with,i have part number 170-4347 on the old block what will it interchange with ?

Thanks

Here's what it looks like

Its just not worth the money on a 17 year old welder. Before you are done you will have $1500 into it if you can find all the parts.
then if a flywheel goes soon after rebuild another $600. Not worth it. You could find a newer used Bobcat with a Kohler for less than
$2000. JMO

Is that like a 2 cylinder that is on the generator ?
