No problem Ems Fred, I share to help others, since I always learn the hard way. Watch the video link above for full story.
The only thing i did not include was the fact that my ac belt had flipped over backwards, and my ac was on when this happened. I run power steering, ac,water pump and alternator. All accessories. Oh and the fact the dayum crank bolt was loose again.
I actually plan to go back and double pin the crank pulley and the b234 crank gear that i broke the tab on. Supercharger guys do it, and Rick G made the clever suggestion. Google it.
I torqued the crank bolt both times to 122ft lb, per IPD specs. But it came loose twice regardless. After the first time i used red lock tite. The other thing i noticed is that my harmonic balancer , or crank pulley outer are spinning on the innards, so the rubber has failed inside of it. Not sure if this is an issue, or a cause. Either way i will be using a different crank pulley.
I really like the Yoshifab piece, but that price.Then it says you have to machine the crank anyways, soooo..I just can not wrap my head around. Sure it would have saved me the price of another 16v head, but I bought my first 16v head for 350, and second for 300, so the price gap,of 190 for a gear- is not satisfactory at all for me.
I am all about the bargain, and this gives me the built not bought attitude. I know that's not the consensus here on TB , but it used to be,back in 99.
Looks like i will be making a round piece, like a metal stencil if you will, to bolt up to Volvo crank, with four holes drilled in it in . The four holes will be like this jig in the video..Then insert solid rollpins(not hollow) to hold both firm.
