Hello,
First, thank you guys for all the posts and knowledge everybody shares. Although, I don't post often I spend quite a bit of my time reading everybody's topics.
Alright here is my situation that makes me absolutely sick. If you only knew the entire situation and how excited I've been to get this car back on the road and then this. Honestly, I've been to embarrassed to even post this but here we are.
Please review this and give any advice you may have. Thank you in advance.
Background:
Car's been sitting for almost 1.5 years due to a broken rear window(Targa).
Finally saved up enough money to get the body repaired around the window and glass installed.
Picked the car up and it idles at 3000rpm.
After getting the car back to my garage while checking this out for possible stuck cold start valve, I got careless and let a rag wrap around the crank pulley which stalled the car.
Couldn't remove rag so since I've replaced the crank shaft seal some time ago no big deal remove the rear mount and pulley cover.
Remove rag and pulley falls off.
Pulley is gouged from dowel pin and dowel pin is sheared off. See pictures
Crank bolt and crankshaft threads fine.
Dowel pin is stuck possibly from side load forces or is this pressed in. Lets hope not.
I've created a cone face into the dowel pin with a dremel for drilling.
I've broken several bits that were recommend on here for other dowel pin removal.
If you have any advice on better drill bits then heat/cold treating the metals I would appreciate it.
Thank you
