oobster Posted May 15, 2007 Posted May 15, 2007 Gonny tell me, probably THE most technically clueless on here, what a woodruff key is?
petermorling Posted May 15, 2007 Author Posted May 15, 2007 its a piece of metal about half the size of a 5 pence piece, i locks the timing on the crank, well something like that. and it only cost £1.24 [:'(] all that for a couple o quid

WUZ Posted May 15, 2007 Posted May 15, 2007 Pete - so all the trouble was just the Woodruff Key? BLIMEY! - never had that happen before. Lucky there wasn't some major damage to the car. All that aggro for a £2 item that takes 15 minutes to fit. DOH! I was about to call you as I am now back but it seems that I am not needed....Nice one! Russell
petermorling Posted May 15, 2007 Author Posted May 15, 2007 the last owner put a new pulley on to it but never replaced the woodruff, and when i striped it down the woodruff was very very chewed up and the timing was 3 teeth out, im suprized i made it to foveran with it. nevermind the big mystery has been solved!! thanks anyway russell, i will be knockin on your door to get it moddified. cheers peter
