I lost it.
One tiny little fucking piece of metal, and now I have to wait till tomorrow to finish this damn car. |
That's a woodruff key |
For his crappy Honda, should have bought a Toyota.

Uhm... if so, I hope it didn't fall off, down into the timing belt cavity... If it gets caught in the timing belt path... FFFFFUUUUUUUuuuuuuu....... *crosses fingers for you* E. |

An *offset* woodruf key ? holy cow. I hope you don't put it in backwards

If not I can probably make you one out of a piece of bar stock Woodruff keys are not shear pins/keys. Briggs and Stratton shear keys are aluminum and to protect the crank since the flywheel is very heavy and if the crank suddenly stops, it shears instead of the crank. Woodruff key slots in the shaft are semi-circular. The hub is easily broached, the key slot in the shaft doesn't weaken it like a keyway slot would. As such, Woodruff keys are much more precise. |

I hope you don't put it in backwards If he does it right, he may advance the timing a bit a little bit...he could put a 3 degree or 5 degree key and get a little quicker response.

The cam on my TDI has a key slot, only it doesn't use a key but a tapered shaft. The key is for indexing during manufacturing. Since there are two driven sprockets (cam and injection pump) which must be indexed to the crank, both shafts are locked during a TB swap with both sprockets free to rotate, assuring even tension when the tensioner is set. At first, it is a PITA since special tools are needed (cam lock, IP hub lock, cam sprocket puller, crank lock, tensioner wrench). I took the inexpensive path, I made mine. They don't look professional but they work better since the factory tools are a bit "sloppy" in fit. As such, the injection timing doesn't need a final adjustment with the computer tool. I check every time and in 2/3rds of the TB swaps, injection timing is perfect. |
