Re: IML: crankshaft pulley repair

Hahaha,

 

I see your point Henry :)

But someone suggested earlier that the rings might have slipped only once..

That means that the mark on the ring must be replaced by a new mark.

 

Unfortunately we don't have special moving marks overhere...

It might be wise to invest in a new harmonic damper, allthough there are quite hard to find for a 1960 RB 413 engine!

Maybe you have special moving marks in the Netherlands, but we do not have them in the US.
 
You would need one of the special moving marks, since as the loosened ring moves, the mark would have to move on the ring to be correct. 

Unlike a broken watch, the fixed mark on the damper would not even be right twice a day.

Why is it such a problem then if the outter ring has slipped?
I mean, you only have to find TDC of the #1 cyl and make a new mark on the
ring???

Or do I miss something here?

Thanks,

It can if the outter ring has slipped on the inner ring.

The damper only goes on 1 way, it cant be 180 degrees off.

When you change the balancer, you MUST be certain that the TDC mark
 (the one you use to set timing) is actually pointing to 0 on the
plate affixed to the timing chain cover when cylinder 1 is at EXACT
top dead center on the COMPRESSION cycle.  The most common mistake
is getting it 180 degrees out.  Having it off by a few degrees will
merely make it difficult to set the timing because you won't want to
believe your eyes when you see how many degrees initial advance you
have.

Some of what I have written is merely interesting.  The important
sentences have words in CAPS.  Not abbreviations... words.
