Was this in the bottom of the pulley housing? What did the fastener look like? If you bolt the fan back on, you could start the engine and run it briefly just to check to see if the noise was gone. I realize that it might be hard to hear with the muffler off, and it might also upset the neighbors. > > > - Then I should be able to remove the pulley housing (question: is this > > > right?) > > > > Right. > > Done. As I have it off I want to clean it up and make the timing hole round > again. Anyone have any tips as to how to do this? Clamp a piece of flat steel in a vise, steel piece sticking out the side. Slide the fan housing over the steel with the hole facing up and the steel under the hole. Tap the topside down with a small hammer and work slowly. I find that I can generally make these quite nice again with just a little work. -- Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
