Re: I F*KING QUIT! !!!!UPDATE!!!!

Yet another crank keyway failure!  What a wonderful
design!  I can show you the crank pulley sans keyway
that I kept from my old G60 motor...

You need a new crank pulley for sure.  Make damn sure
that the keyway on the crank nose is indeed in good
shape.  Get a new bolt too.  Reinstall everything,
then do a compression test and a leakdown.  That'll
tell you whether you bent valves or not.
