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

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?


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

QUOTE
Is it sloppy engine building?


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)

Does this happen to high mileage engines?


No

QUOTE
How might I ensure that my current and future engines don't have this problem?


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

QUOTE
Is this some sort of engineering/design flaw with the T4?


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