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 ? |

30+ years ago we lost the fan on Betty's 914 at an AX in Coppers Cove Texas. She had her fastest AX run that day after the fan disconnected itself, and it made an oily mess of the bottom of the engine.
I was able to replace the lost woodruff key and bolt after a local auto parts store owner opened up and sold me the needed parts, and some locktite. I pulled the front tin, and did the work through the fan housing laying under the engine. She was able to drive it the 2.5 hours home later that evening. The fan stayed on the crank for years after that, untouched from the parking lot fix. Just make sure the bolt is torqued to factory specs, and put some red locktite on it before assembly. You will be fine. |
