I've done some searching and reading and found some things, but still have these questions.
I purchased a new woodruff key for the timing belt crank pulley from toyota, and it's a very tight fit, I can only manage to stick 1/3 of one end in by hand in attempt to wiggle or push it down in...I imagine it should be snug but how snug? It fits the pulley just fine, no wiggle but not tight.
My original woodruff key was damaged because my harmonic balancer's key was too small, (damn P.O.!:icon_evil) and let THAT get damaged...hence the new key. Tips on getting the little thing in would be appreciated :1zhelp:
Also, I know the harmonic dampener is a "light press fit," can I just get it partially on and let the pulley bolt press it on?
Lastly, I read a post by IJ about putting permatex #4 around the oil seals to help seal them to the block, and I don't know which color/type of sealant #4 is... and I'm guessing any light grease will be ok to lube the inner wall of the seal?
