Was trying to remove the Crankshaft from the block on my JDM B16A and found this:




I did search but couldn't find anything that specifically referenced this problem nor solutions.

It appears to maybe have jumped timing at some point. I was able to remove the balancer pulley with no problem and the rectangular key has no signs of being broken. Question is how do I remove the pulley? Has anyone ever had this problem, and should I even bother re-using this crankshaft for my build? It's going to the machine shop for my 650hp build just wanted some opinions or possible removal tips

Thanks.

 

i know the line and the key are supposed to be aligned

nope, you are still good, the line and the key are not aligned, just grab a gear/bearing separator and pull it off.

 

OP you should get the timing belt guide plates too.

 

Thanks man PB + pulley worked like a charm
