Thanks allot brother. Enjoy your Miller
This guy is awesome!!!
Is there a way to check for the wallowed out key way without taking off the crank gear? I’m trying to time the engine and I can’t get it to time no matter what so I’m wondering if the issue is a wallowed keyway
Someone tried fixing mine with loctite when I rebuilt mine I ended up welding a new key on the crank haven't had a issue since
Awesome no billy for Canada that’s ok. Keep up the great work Lots of great information here.
Loctite 660 for a durable repair
So I’m running into an issue with my tracker 1.6l 16v with getting the crank gear off to replace the seal. I tried reinstalling the old timing belt and putting a screw driver through the timing gear and it just broke the belt. I even went and bought a new impact and hammered on it and I can’t get the thing to come loose. I was about to get a monkey wrench and then I thought “ I wonder what highway 83 would do. Any advice would be appreciated
How do you lock the shaft so you can torque to 94 ft. pounds on an automatic transmission car? Will you be doing an oil seal and oil pump replacement in the future?
merci Tonny, vraiment de bons conseils
What are some of the symptoms that would make one want to check this out? Thanks!
Bro what engine can I put in a 1990 sidekick keeping the original transmission (I want a toyota engine).
How do you lock the crankshaft (engine in car) on cars with automatic transmissions when torquing the bolt to 94 ft. lbs.?
Can anyone help me with something? My 90 sidekick starts great and idles a little high as it warms up but after a minute or so the isle goes crazy. It gets really high and then cuts out but before it stops turning it kicks in again and starts to rev up again followed by it cutting out again. Looking down the TB I can actually see the injector spraying fuel and it just stops and starts and stops and starts. It has an even rhythm and if I depress the throttle the rpm goes up and the frequency of the cut out cycles faster. I've changed the throttle position sensor and injector, cleaned the Pcv. Any thoughts?
Dude's a damn Suzuki rockstar! Thanks.
Love ur shop and your energy!
It is very common ! Needs to be tight to specs !
The funniest thing about this too me is that the bolt needs to be torqued to 94fpt. The engine doesn't even make enough torque to tighten its own crank bolt.
