and here was the problem:


I guess it comes with becoming a member of the 12 sec club

 

Ouch man... hopefully you get that badboy fixed and running again... so you can be in the 'running' 12 sec club!

Geeee

All I did was drink Budweiser and Jager all day:o

 

What caused that?

 

Good question cause i don't know. I thought it was just the seal that goes around the crank where the case slips over the crank but i poped off the harmonic balancer and i saw a little crack. Once i got the case off i found that.


That pic is takin from the inside of the timing chain cover as you can see on the right is the crank sensor

 

What IS that?

 

What is the last picture of?

Do you have any idea the cause of the problem?

 

Tell me your Crank didnt cause that. About the same size as the gear on the front of the crank isnt it?

 

it is a timing chain cover and here is the front side:



The pic is the inside of the cover

And here is what the bed of the L is NOT supposed to be used for:

 

Could the cracks be from a non-caged lower pulley?

Is that a JohnDeere tractor in the background? Looks like my fathers 1967 model 112.

 

No way thats from a uncaged pulley you would have way more problems if you had that kind of play between your crank and berrings. Must be a bad casting or to much pressure aplied when the seal was inserted. That sucks man.

 

Never say NEVER .... (or NO WAY!)

<grin>

 

I just looked at mine and I think that maybe over tightening the lower accessory drive pulley too much you could cause the cover to crack as yours did.
