Pathfinder/Puch woes.

[MikeV]

Thought I would share some pic's with you all.
Started work on the engine and on removing the flywheel this is what I discovered. Obviously the flywheel tension had become relaxed allowing the flywheel to move and applying force on the 3mm timing pin with the end result as seen in the pic's.
First job was to work on the bruising around the damage, when this had been done the next thing to do was lap the flywheel to the crankshaft, finishing off with engineers blue to confirm contact area. Now ok.
Now all I have to do is find a way of getting a secure location for the timing pin.

Watch this space, the grey cells are starting to come alive.

The Repair

Update.

First the crank and flywheel were repaired and reworked using liquid metal.

The next bit.

To get the pin away from the damaged area an offset "T" was made from a 3mm woodruf key. This enables the use of the key slot in the flywheel and spreads the load.

I just hope it all works ok.

Mike.
