I was wrong when I said that only the fluiddamper was damaged!
I thought from the beginning that it only was the key that was broken but this is not the case.
The crank snout is badly damaged and the snout is conical.
It seems like the damper have wiggeld more and more.
And have now ended into a disaster.
This was one of the few parts that I reused from the old engine when building the new one.
Outer diameter is 1.210 and 1/2" in the diameter is 1.238.
I could only check the dim with a dial calliper but it was enough.
A bit of the key for the timing chain wheel was also cut, as it was sticking out 1/4" outside the timing wheel flange and into the damper.
Can the crank be saved with some sleeve or so or is it just to throw it in the river Nile?
What a wounderful start of this summer, my vacation starts in two weeks!
