Jimny crankshaft pulley repair?

You would need to drill and tap, and thats longer winded. Of course weld wont come loose either!

Time for a report on how this modification is performing. Only one minor problem, and that was my fault. I did not do the bolt up tight enough on the pulley and it loosened a bit, allowing oil to leak past the seal. All tight and cleaned up now, and no other troubles. Up to now, 1200 miles covered. No vibration, no broken crankshaft or anything else. Pins intact and pulley still running true. Those miles were about 95% road work with a little 60-65mph, much at about 50 across country and some town work. The rest has been around a farm, along green lanes which have plenty of mud filled holes, and across stubble, so it has been tested in a variety of conditions.

Just a quick update. Nothing to report at all! Few thousand more miles and no problems, all still working as it should. I almost dare say this is a cure! :whistle:

Well done what no snapped crankshaft HaHa :laugh: we never used to have any of this crap years ago dual mass Harmonic crank dampers so why do we need it now just another way of screwing money out of you and more to go wrong

Bygones days of simplicity! Some things are better, no more carbs to go out of tune and balance, points to wear out, distributor caps to fail etc. But my old mate who has just spent a fortune getting a solid flywheel in his Rav4 so it goes along again has another point of view!
Anyway, I am sure some other bit of built in obsolescence will get me, but so far so good.

Nearly 10k miles, still working!
