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 ? |

Superhawk has your back here. I'll add to his most excellent response is pits are fine. high spots are a problem
I'll also add my own 914 fan story...... The first 914 I bought I put like 70k on it and the motor started making some bad noises. My dad was a VW tech in the early 70's so this wasn't a big deal and the car was a beater so 70k was about expected. Well we get the motor on the stand and my dad is pulling the FI off and I go to pull the fan. Well I go in there with a socket and I get nothing. Upon closer inspection I'm surprised to find the bolt is GONE! Motor was spinning almost 6k just days ago with just the press fit holding that hub on. Again. Pits aren't a big deal. high spots are a problem. clean up that slot. fit a new key. Set your motor at #1 TDC by putting a long thin screwdriver or dowel down the #1 plug hole. Line up your marks on the fan to zero best you can. put on the bolt with the proper washer and torque to spec. you'll be good to go. kelly |
