ep82paul Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 Hi all iam stripping my engine down because it lost compression on cylinder 1 so for the 1st time ever iam going to try doing the rebuild myself which should be fun because I don't no what iam doing lol any way I've got it stripped down to the block still got crank and pistons in but no matter what I try I can not get this woodruff key out its well stuck in has any one got any ideas as iam stuck on what to do next I have already broke the edge of the pulley so I will need a new one I just can't get it free at all Quote
ep82paul Posted January 10, 2017 Author Posted January 10, 2017 Well I've found out why I lost compression still can't get woodruff key out even warmed it up a bit still won't move Quote
TimD Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 That'll do it. My woodruff key stayed in the crank when I removed the pulley. It should slide over the top of it, or at least mine did, and new one now does. Quote
5e colin Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 tempted with the boost i see flat screwdriver will popt the key out any time maybie small tap Quote
ep82paul Posted January 10, 2017 Author Posted January 10, 2017 Lol ye just a little bit of boost woodruff key is well stuck looks like it's rusted on think I will have to take crank out with the pulley still attached put pulley in a vice put bolt back in and hit it with a hammer does any one no what compression these pistons are http://www.race-tech.net/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=33 Quote
