NewDriverOlderRide Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 I need to know if this has any spacers or anything because its been real loose, and it came unscrewed causing the car to begin to overheat, so I looked and it seems to be slightly wore from being rubbed on with that bolt. Anyways, there are no spacers or anything for it, just the bolt? Hers a crappy pic, hopefully you can tell what I'm talking about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idosubaru Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 if you're speaking of the main crank shaft pulley then be sure to tighten the bolt. iron bolt, iron crankshaft, 22mm bolt - torque the crap out of it. i use a 1/2" socket with a 3 foot breaker bar and put some serious stank into it. anything less and you risk it coming off. it could be coming apart and appearing to wobble if the inner and outer parts are seperating from the rubber ring between them. if you look really close there's a rubber ring around the middle of the pulley, this is rubber and over time seperates causing the inner part to spin and the outer to not spin as fast or seize or fall off...etc. causing overheating and charging problems. if you need a new pulley - score a used one somewhere. temporarily the two "halves" can be kept together with sheet metal screws screwed in between where the rubber is. or tack weld it. i hope i'm reading this correctly, if not help me out a little.

NewDriverOlderRide Posted March 28, 2006 Author Share Posted March 28, 2006 To clarify a little more: Well what happened, is that my pulley came completely off, and I would like to know if there is any sort of spacer between the bolt, pulley, and crankshaft.

Subarian Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 No spacer. There's a large washer that goes under the head of the bolt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idosubaru Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 none of the soob motors i've worked on had a washer under the crank bolt. it's always been just the crank pulley and a bolt. i don't think it matters either way, with or without would be fine. either way you need to crank the snot out of the bolt with a long breaker bar and the engine locked in place - in gear, flywheel, flexplate, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayakertom Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 Does it still have the key in the keyway slot on the crankshaft? You need that to lock the harmonic balancer / crank pulley to the shaft.
