does anybody know the dimensions that the woodruff key is for an 87 TII? becuase i got a universal kit and not even the biggest one was big enough, so if anybody knows te dimensions plz let me kno

 

why don't you go to the dealer and order one? it's gonna be tough to find a universal one that fits just right, not worth the risk of getting an off sized one and have the flywheel come loose or shear the key.

 

yea thats what i was gonna do. i was just making sure that i didnt already have it w/ the universal kit. i have to go to the dealer anyway to get a rear E-shaft oil seal. also is it possible that any damge has been done to the rear bearing due to the flywheel coming loose?

 

possible but not likely unless it was having harsh vibration issues for an extended period of time. the front thrust bearing keeps the e-shaft in place.

 

well the car was making a loud rattling noise since the battery tray broke and then the battery knocked it off timing. and that was about a week worth of driving. however, i couldnt redline the car because it had a bad hesitation anyway, until i fixed the timing. then i took it to 7k and the rattling got louder and louder then eventually the car just completly shut off and the woodruff key somehow broke because when i took off the flywheel i couldnt find it anywhere. then when i tried to crank the car, u would just hear the starter spinning the flywheel but the flywheel was "free-wheeling" due to no woodruff key and the big *** nut in the middle was loose.

 

i would be more worried about the metal having gone into the oil system. do an oil change and check for excessive metal in the oil.

 

wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooodrufff key, i love that word, i would say best bet is from mazda though

 

and what happens if there is metal in the oil???
