This little key is 5/8" X 3/16". I don't recall putting it in the new engine. Should I be worried?

Yeah, isn't that the key that locks the fan on the crank?

If that came out I would think you could move the fan pretty easily.

Don't know but I hope not. It might be a little tough to do with the enging in.

It can be put back in with the engine installed, I have done it a lot. Just hope it didnt do any damage to the crankshaft. Dont run it without that in there.

Yep!! it's the fan hub key!

If you don't have one it will take out your crank!

Be safe and make sure.

Dave, I'm holdin one just as you described. What I can't understand is how it came out as you prolly installed the fan well ahead of the tin. It's like working blind but it can be installed in the car.

I took mine out today for shits and giggles on any and all curvy roads given the dry weather. You'll be glad you made the heat exchangers.

Happy holidays to all, Tim. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beer.gif)

Um...I guess I'll ask the obvious (and betray my ignorance!!) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) But, how does the fan hub key come flying out the front of the engine? Is it sloppy engine building? Does this happen to high mileage engines? How might I ensure that my current and future engines don't have this problem? Is this some sort of engineering/design flaw with the T4?

It cannot "fly" out...period...no way, no how !!!!

QUOTE

possibly just unlucky, when he installed the hub, it might have come loose, or it could still be installed correctly on the crank and this is an extra part from another project??? We won't know until he takes it apart, he needs to measure it 1st, if the dimensions are too far off, then i wouldn't worry about it, however if the dimensions match what belongs in the crank, then I'd be cussing (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)

No

Don't worry about right now with your current engine and when you rebuild your engine remember to install it....

No, it is not, it might be a human error and that is all, the Type IV engine is a very robust engine

It might also be the WOODRUFF KEY that's used on the inner half of the alt. pulley.

Actually I would do it from underneath. Just take the front apron sheet metal off. You should be able to get at the fan hub while seeing what you are doing. Plus you get another chance to gawk at that beautifull motor from the under side one more time. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) Good luck Any chance it came from the other crank when it was pulled apart? WAY LONG TIME AGO????

Well I took the front apron off and then the fan and hub and I found a Woodruff key right where it was supposed to be in the crank. Guess I'll try the alternator next.

Unless the pulley came off of the alternator, there is no way for the key to get out. As you can see the key fits into a hole in the shaft. It cannot slide out. Then there is the washer and nut on the end it could not get past.

My guess is that it's an extra. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif)

I've been finding extra parts in my engine compartment for years. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/lol2.gif)
