Hi folks. Unfortunately after spotting a wobble on the crankshaft accessory pulley 6 months ago, a strange intermittent whirring noise at idle 2 months ago, and finally a loud rattle a idle 2 weeks ago, I found a broken crank key and damage to the key way on my '97 FMII.
This has now had the "loctite fix" applied to it including bonding the timing pulley onto the nose of the crank shaft, but what's the list's view of the longevity of the fix? Should I drop the rev limiter and generally baby the car, or is this fix up to normal "bouncing off of the redline at full boost" activity? Annoyingly, the car is only 5k miles (though 2 years) past it's second timing belt change, done by the local dealership when I was feeling flush and lazy.. Any thoughts or experiences? (obviously I've now started saving for the junkyard engine). Thanks, Glenn
