For the second time in a two years, my crank pulley has come loose, destroyed the woodruff key, and either streched the pulley inner surface or worn down the crank.
The first time it came loose I replaced the pulley and torqued the bolt down as hard as possible with someone locking the flywheel down.
If I remember correctly the pullley isnt supposed to be a press fit but pretty close right? Right now the pulley goes over the crank and when the bent up key is in, the pulley can be wiggled around a bit.
I guess my question is can the crank be saved somehow if it has been deformed. Is there some kind of machining, or a sleeve or something that can prevent me from having to replace the crankshaft. Im pretty sure its the pulley thats out of round but I dont know until i get anothere good one to try.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Ryan
