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 ? |

he called it MULTI-THOUSAND dollar prop, so yes.
Here is my Prussian Blue... I wiped it on the hub and hand installed the hub. I slid it on with the key-way semi-aligned, At 1st I just rotated right and left a bit. Less blue transferred, but here in the same place. Then I rotated the hub 360* and got this.... ![]() |

Your final result will be if the hub can be tapped on with a socket and will be hard to pop back off the taper you need this as it won't be an issue later . Remove the old seal so you can see better whats going on and keep rotating the crank,cheers. |

Filing the end of the crank with the inside of the case so close would make me nervous, no matter how the opening is sealed. Steel filings in the oil would be a very sad thing. |

Take a 1 inch wide strip of all-mag about 3 inches long and lay it under the crank in the seal opening. Any filings will be caught on the magnet instead of going into the motor. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) Just set a neodymium magnet underneath and it will literally “grab” the shavings out of the air assuming it doesn’t “fly” itself up to the crank. The magnet might need a drop of hot melt glue or double sided adhesive to stay put. Crazy strong magnets! |

It will get any shavings the magnet misses. |
