We were able to tap the threads in the crankshaft with a 14mm X1.5 tap today. I will pin a new sprocket on it and build the spare motor.

I decided that the fit of the new sprocket on the end of the damaged crankshaft is less than acceptable due to a small amount of wobble or play in the key-way. I will find a different crankshaft to build up the spare engine.

The knife-edged crankshaft came back from BBM yesterday so now I can begin re-assembling the 1.9 Litre.

Engine re-assembled. Started Thursday 4/12/07. Ran so bad I flat towed it to the shop. They found I had the distributor out of time which explains why it was running so retarded. They are trying to eliminate a miss at 2500 RPM but otherwise the engine is running well. I should have it back this Monday 4/16 following R-134A recharge
