007banshee Posted February 21, 2012 Report Posted February 21, 2012 Hey guys putting my motor together and bought a new woodruff key.from the dealership and it had what looked to be a triangle stamped into it which caused one side to have a tiny bump not allowing it to sit properly on the crank so i bought another, with the same result. Any suggestions? Thanks! Quote
n2otoofast4u Posted February 21, 2012 Report Posted February 21, 2012 Its a dimmple that is used to make it go in, and then stay in while you put the flywheel in. Give it a love tap to seat it and put your flywheel on.. Quote
So Cal Suspension Posted February 21, 2012 Report Posted February 21, 2012 Hey guys putting my motor together and bought a new woodruff key.from the dealership and it had what looked to be a triangle stamped into it which caused one side to have a tiny bump not allowing it to sit properly on the crank so i bought another, with the same result. Any suggestions? Thanks! I would just lap the key... Lay a piece of 600grit wet/dry sandpaper on a genuinely flat surface. Drill press table works good... and lap it until it's flat again. It might take a little while, but it'll eventually work. Keep the sandpaper wet. Quote
mike0chek Posted February 21, 2012 Report Posted February 21, 2012 lapping the key works well... Quote
007banshee Posted February 21, 2012 Author Report Posted February 21, 2012 Why don't they just not stamp it. Ill try lapping it. Thanks! Quote
