Re: Help! [16v][crankshaft sprocket]

[Kevin <aventari@cts.com>]

They sproket is held on by 1 big 19mm (or 17) nut that bolts directly to
the crank. If this is loose, you better torque it down real soon (like
100ft/lbs or something) because your v-belt pully is bolted directly to
this sprocket. You dont want to lose your timing belt sprocket and all your
accessories at the same time!! nThat wouldn't be fun
