the lugs secure the tv damper, basically a big heavy ass peice of metal cut into a round shape that takes out the torsional vibrations of the crankshaft.. or thats what i read online Yeah thanks for the advice im gonna buy that one.. You can really see the heat damage on the oppsite side...

Also the crankshaft bolt was covered in oil.... so i take it i should spend the 4 quid while its all open and buy the front crankshaft oil seal?

sorry i took this with my webcam on 4mb 1024x768, best it can do... still not very good at these sort of pictures. This is the areas u will want to look at on the crank pulley i removed... Madness huh?? or am i overeacting and i could just stick this back on??

Ok, so its not a good idea to reuse this same pulley if it only has 2 moutnings for the damper holes? I have been snooping around and ive found a used pulley going for 30 pounds.. is it advisable to buy a used pulley? i know this is an amazing price, almost too good to be true? what you...

thanks for the advice guys.. the td5 doesent have a woodruff key on the crank pulley, it does on the timing chain sprocket but not the pulley.. looks like the 339 lbft torque is all that keeps it from spinning free from the crankshaft.. maybe its tapered too but ill see that when i have the...
