So far, only reference I can find is 'install crankshaft pulley (holes are offset for correct installation.'

Presume yours has more than just a central single bolt?

If there is a key then there will be a corresponding slot in the pulley.

Thing that's confusing me Brucie, is that there is a slot, in the pulley, and a slot on the crank bit.

And if you line them up, the pulley is nowhere near TDC, which is how I took it off...

Are you sure about that?  Slot in the pulley and a slot in the crank with a piece of metal that fits in the gap would be a pretty typical sort of setup.  The metal piece wouldnt be massively substantial, but it would definitely need to be there...

Pretty sure the crank is set to TDC.. but if I line the slots up, then according to the outer pulley marks, it would be at about 60 deg BTDC

Brucie - you're thinking of the outer pulley. I'm talking about the inner one, held on my the central E20 Torx Bolt..

OK, now see how it goes together....

Looking at a parts picture, the end of the crankshaft is tapered and its upon this that the bottom toothed pulley is held by the central bolt.

The outer pulley is then located onto this by the 6 or so bolts which are offset.

Sadly, no sign of a key or similar yet but I would really think one is needed to ensure drive is maintained other than through a single central bolt.

Will keep looking....   :y

Neither EPC or TIS seem to cover it very well...

My Arm could tell you all about it, having removed it just... you can imagine how hard it is to remove, and stop crank turning!

CDX, ready for it mate, pics taken.

If I had EPC it would show nothing other than the pulley and a tapered end on the crank, no mention of any woodruff keys. Is the slot in the crank ground like a keyway?
