draper40 Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 Hey, Is it normal to have two keyways on the crankshaft? The back one seems like it would rub on the oil seal-is it normal? Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 yes, one for the timing gear inside the timing case & one for the crankshaft damper/pulley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
draper40 Posted June 7, 2008 Author Share Posted June 7, 2008 Western- it looks like to would just rub on the seal? Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 Doubt it as the rear key is or should be covered by the timing belt pulley, can't see how it would catch or touch the rear oil seal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muzaz Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 Western- it looks like to would just rub on the seal?Pete yes thats how it looks like but the oilseal mates with the crank timing gear not the crank itself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
draper40 Posted June 8, 2008 Author Share Posted June 8, 2008 That explains it! So the seal runs on the pulley-not the shaft! Any tips on how to get the pulley off- mine's jammed right on! Thanks Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Henson Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 Fabricate a puller - a thick bar and two bolts to draw it off. Don't be tempted to lever against the timing case - you will damage it. Les. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
