Doing It All Over Again

Created on 2007-08-15 20:09:30

Same trouble...this time with the pinned sprocket. Engine's out, crankshaft pulled, back to the machine shop for another crankshaft repair and pin job...this time with two pins. I will make damn sure that the bolt is torqued correctly and plenty of green loctite is used.

Got everythng repaired on the crank...new sprocket double pinned, replaced the mains and rod bearings. The engine is back in and running well. Even got the AC recharged and the alignment done. Life is good again.
