damn! damaged some thread on the crank
hmmm
I whas going to press the damper on the crank today. I guess i dident screw in the tool enough on the crank so the screw got loose braking 2 first threads in the crank. I didt it all again, this time i screw in the tool alot more. And it worked.
Now is the first 2 threads on the crank damage but the rest is OK, is this something to worrie about? The center nut is now torqued in place...
thanks

Re: damn! damaged some thread on the crank (devilfish)
No, you'll be OK. That, my friend, is a lesson well learned at a very cheap cost. I ruined a crank that very same way 35 years ago on a brand new hot rod engine.......I still remember that awful feeling....... :lol:
Edit: ooops, I just thought about it......it was damn near 40 years ago....
Geeze.......... :sad:
