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 ? |

Amazon has let me down. I did purchase the Prussian Blue yesterday from them with the promise that it would arrive today..... Now expected on Monday. Gives me a few extra days to lap, I guess. I have a new 0-ring, and found a woodruff key, so it is all down to lapping and re-checking. Thank you to everyone that has chimed in. I always learn good stuff from this forum.... Fingers are crossed that I will never deal with this again. I can certainly imagine the real damage that could be done if the fan were to come off or even just become disengaged. I stopped using Prussian Blue years ago. I've found a large tip black sharpie works just as well, has a much longer shelf life (than the spray cans) and shows lap patterns equally well. It's easy, quick, and you can find the markers at the grocery store. I only use the Sharpie brand. |
