Crank pulley

What holds the crank pulley on?

Big bolt for the crank pully, alt/water pump pully is bolted to the crank pully with 5 litte ones

5??? Oh hell. Mine fell off on way home from work hope I don't have 5 snapped bolts in my crank!

whats fallen off the auxillery pulley or the pully for timing belt ? you will know if it was timing belt one as car wouldent run or turn over and if it did turn over o boy lol

I'm no daft bud I would know if it was the timing pulley lol
It was the aux pulley. Heard a noise and the battery light came on, initial thought the belt snapped but when I pulled in the pulley was dangling there lucky it's quite tight to the chassis so I didn't lose it completely.

This is just a continuation of my other thread and to how incompetent the previous owner was. I really hope they weren't tightened properly and worked their way slack and haven't snapped in the crank

that really is a odd one must have been resting there i cant see the bolts unscrewing as they tighten with engine or something got caught in there perhaps only way to find out is pull it apart

It is odd mate, will get a look the day. I asked last nite as by the time I got towed home etc it was too dark to look so wanted an idea what to expect

fuck sake your not having alot of luck are you mate keep going it will be worth it

Your telling me mate! Proper hacked off wi it. I have to stick with it as it's worthless just now

they are only suposed to have 10lb torque so either they were over tightened and sheared or just wernt done up enough, either way you might want to get the crank/fly balanced when you do the rebuild just incase the vibrations was a factor
