Have only run maybe 4 gallons of gas thru a new rebuiltengine. Ran on the bench and recently installed. My cooling fan came loose.
Woodruff key is damaged along with the slot in the crank where it sits. Hub too. Is there a way to suitably repair the crank without total engine removal and teardown ? |

Thats pretty serious damage (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) ,looks like it may have happened before as someone has dot punched the crank in some insane attempt to fix the problem which in turn only made the issue worse. The taper fit of the crank/hub is a precision fit and this one may take a lot of "lapping" to get that fit back again and due to the damage in the key area the replacement key will be a poor fit and it will be inclined flog loose unless the taper is restored to 100%. Another problem maybe getting the key to stay put when the hub is refitted ,sorry to sound negitive but its not a quick or guaranteed repair . Cheers and good luck. |
