Have you broke this yet?

[aaron379]

So my front end has been covered in oil... front oil seal no big deal (so I thought) tore down only to find this being the cause of my problem.......NOT GOOD lucky Hooty481 hooked me up with a new-to-me one and now I'm just sitting and waiting on the key to get here so I can get it back together.... what a nightmare

i must say that i have never broke that, and i have never seen one broke before

Yikes!!

Your oil pump is just below that. While everything is apart, make sure the oil pump bearings are ok. I had one break on me.

 

[Beerslayer]

I don't think you are supposed to break that.

Why dose your "new to you" one look like it is off of a 6.2? not a multi?

The odds are if it was on a military vehicle...Soldier B has broken it at one point.

 

[deathrowdave]

Most likely happened installing it with a hammer , instead using a bolt to slowly press it on !!!

i have only seen one break but that was on a friends small block chevy after a head on collision but it broke the end of the crank off

 

[aaron379]

we were thinking that someone drove it on with the key way not exactly lined up even the thin splash guard was wallerd out

It broke at the keyway right? This usually means that the groove of the keyway wasn't raduised at the corners. When you have a sharp angle like that it will usually start to develop a crack. I've seen this happen on shafts of screw pumps when they don't radius the key slots. They will usually last a long time until one day they let loose. i also run into this on centrifuge bowl parts but they usually run for years (out of warranty) before a crack develops deep enough to be noticed.

Also how did you get the bolt out of the timing cover that is just under the air compressor? Mine had a nut on the back and it looks to me like I need to take the AC off to get to it. Any tips?

 

[aaron379]

I didn't take the ac off I got a wrench on the back side
