Outer Limits 4x4 Board

i pulled my 2.8td harmonic balancer off the other day and found that the key and the harmonic balancer were worn, not badly tho.
Replaced the key a bargain at $2.40 but a different story for the balancer,
$511 what a rip off but will replace it after christmas, better than paying upto $3,000 for the crank to be remachined after the key has been spun on the crank.
Also got a price on a new oil pump $625.
Nissan sure does know how to get you where it hurts.
Enjoy christmas everyone.

hope you are buying a new retaining bolt for it. the key is usually the last part to fail.

Sure will i have been told that too.

make sure you loctite the crankshaft bolt in place as they come loose. This happened to me about a month ago and stuffed the key and balancer. Got away with minimal damage to the crank luckily. Could have been a lot worse. The thing hadnt been touched in 85,000 kms when the timing belt was done so just goes to show it can come loose at any time. I have heard of many of these coming loose on others.
