Title: CRANKCASE LOCATING PINS. REPLACEMENT.
Post by: AH1510 on October 20, 2009, 03:22:19 PM

Hello from the sunny left coast.  Can the location pins for the crankshaft trust washers and shims be replaced? I found a bent one. Thanks. OLDPAUL.

I could be mistaken, but the few pictures I've seen of the locating pins, they appeared to be cast into the engine case .

A bent what, thrust bushing?  These are easy for people to mangle up if they forget to block the crank before removing the flywheel...

Send me an email, if you are.  I check that more often than the forum.
