Crank backstop damage??
#1
Hey everyone! First off, what a great site with a wealth of information on these awesome little 4x4s!

Anyway, I had to fix the head gasket on my zook, and while I was there, decided to do the timing belt, w/pump, tensioner and seals (would be mad not to). Well, the crank bolt was fairly loose, and the key and cog were damaged. I bought a 2nd hand key, washer and cog from the wreckers (looks in perfect condition), and did the loctite 660 repair as described on this site. Torqued it all down. Engine runs better than it ever has! But there was a horrible rubbing/ chirping sound. So pulled it to bits again, and the big washer behind the cog had been rubbing on the oil pump housing. I noticed that when I begin to tighten the crank bolt that big washer twists and makes contact with the oil pump instead of staying flush with the cog. Visually the crank backstop looks ok, but must be some wear there for this to happen? What's the best repair for this? I didn't want to loctite it all together permanently if I didn't have to. Can I run it without this washer? Any advice would be hugely appreciated.
