soutie Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 In the process of rebuilding my 1989 110 I have come to retime the engine after fitting the reconditioned fuel pump. Looking at the crankshaft pulley the marked TDC as per photo below is out of line on compared to the crankshaft key. Stupid question here, I take it I use the Key as per the manual and ignore the pulley? Thus I should remark the pulley in line with the key and use that mark? Second question - the manual state inspect the crankshaft pulley damper before refitting. Are the two chunks out of the rubber material acceptable?

miketomcat Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 The woodruff key lines up with the arrow for tdc. The tdc mark on the damper should line up with a casting line on the cover although some don't (I have one that doesn't). Use woodruff or flywheel for timing. I'd be more concerned about the state of the seal surface and would probably replace it. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soutie Posted March 17, 2018 Author Share Posted March 17, 2018 Mike thanks for the reply. I have replaced the seal on the front cover for the crankshaft. The oil that is there in the photo was put there by me to protect the crank shaft from rust as the vehicle is stored in a barn. I will be removing it before I do the timing. Do you think that the damper rubber is okay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 as above the crank key & the cast arrow need to line up for TDC, the TDC line/mark on pulley outer edges aligns with the raised ridge on timing case once its all back together.

miketomcat Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 I was referring to the pitting on the pulley where it goes through the front cover seal. It may clean up with some merry cloth. As for the rubber I've seen worse but I'd be temptd to replace it. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soutie Posted March 18, 2018 Author Share Posted March 18, 2018 Mike, if I did replace it, how do you separate the damper from the pulley and then fit the new one. From my google search and looking at the workshop manual I can't find this mentioned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkie Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 A bit of penetrating oil then some heat and go easy. I've chipped a pulley in the past by being to rough with it. It might be easier to do it with it put back on the crankshaft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 the metal pulley is bolted to the vibration damper, so just 4 x 13mm hex head bolts to remove & tap the pulley off the damper. see page 174 of http://www.retroanaconda.com/landrover/parts_books/110/3_engine_200TDI_300TDI_V8_p168-299.pdf items 7 [damper] & 9 [pulley] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderzander Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 I’ve just separated mine - it came apart quite easily, but hadn’t been fastened up correctly and had rotated on the key way. Not dear to replace though 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soutie Posted March 21, 2018 Author Share Posted March 21, 2018 I cleaned up the damper and am happy that there is no pitting, so will reuse it. Thanks for all the comments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 that's cleaned up very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miketomcat Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Looks like new. Interestingly I've had a little fun with 200's recently and noticed two of them the scribe on the damper lined up with the case protrusion. The third was about 90° out fortunately I noticed after I'd timed it with the keys. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
