Hey all. Is it normal to have to tap the timing gear on the crankshaft when replacing the timing set? The original came off pretty hard with the correct puller and then I had to tap the new one on with a small piece of pipe over the crank end. Is this normal? Is there a chance of messing up the thrust bearing? I didn't hammer, just had to tap probably 100-150 times with a small body hammer. Thanks Mike mike.j.moser@boeing.com |

Just a quick trick I learned from my grandfather and some friends is to bake the crank gear, or heat it with a propane torch to get it hot enough to expand. It should just slip on the crank and when it cools it'll be snug as a bug. -D.Idiot |

I've also been known to bake the Harmonic balancer too. About 225F for a half hour or so, a little orange sauce on the side......yummmmm. A pair of welding gloves really comes in handy. I usually end up buying new hot mitts if I don't have welding gloves. Gilly tlg225ccr@aol.com |
