Subject: Re: Cleaning of crank pulley? by BillH on 2013/11/8 0:04:10 I'd leave the drive shaft in the timing cover. Note: That shaft should not be flipped around (if you pull it out of the timing cover, mark which end was in there). The shaft has one wide spline to key it to the opti, mark, or note it's location then mark the wide spline on the new opti so you can line them up on install. If the keyed splines are lined up, you will be able to push the opti up against the block. If you push the opti on and it stops, leaving a 1/4 in gap between it and the block, the keys probably aren't aligned. DON'T try and pull the opti to the block with the bolts. One the pully, I'd degrease it, very light sand with 220 wet or dry (with or without water) and shoot it with hi temp. And what Andy said on the anti-seize. If you ever remove that hub, make sure you mark it's location on the crank. And check on how to do it, you can't just use a puller on it. |
