Much appreciated, Wade.

Maybe I'm paranoid, but stuff like this makes me go look at my engine and ponder if I need to add each ounce of prevention.

This issue is probably endemic to the 1.6. There don't seem to be many options... take the crank to a shop, or pin it in the car. (Unless you live near Flagstaff.)





the broach isnt too terrible expensive, and neither is the fixture to hold the tool..

i think with all costs included, it would be less to have a tool fixture machined, and buy a broach, than to pull the crank..
92 Jetta GLI - Black, 1.6D w/ GT2056V turbo..
86 GTI - 4 Door, Med Twilight Gray, Tow Machine..
86 Audi Coupe GT - Tornado Red, All Stock.. WRECKED.
89 Toyota 4Runner - Dark Grey Metallic, LIFTED!

Turbo: exhaust gasses go into the turbocharger and spin it, witchcraft happens and you go faster.

IDK broaches are expensive. I sold one last year it was 300.00 and it wasn't anything special.
