Thanks for that, i know what the chisel mark looks like it's on the driven sheave halves. I'll have another look for the V shape on the back of the fixed sheave but im wondering how youre supposed to see it when its tight up against the flywheel?
What size do you think the V is?
thanks Jim
The mark "should" be exactly the same on each half. If your engine has as much grime as mine, you'll need to clean the edge of the sheave as best as you can, a flashlight helps me, but mostly I use a fingernail to feel for it. You very likely will need to bump the starter a time or two in order to feel the portions that are inaccessible (or pull plugs and move it by hand). Not to get all technical on you but the flywheel is actually on the other end...the sheave is tight against the block only.
Hope this helps.
