actually, i did grind the key down first.:rolleyes: but it would appear that the sprocket was also twisted a little on the crank. it was enough to keep it from coming off easy that's for sure. the key slot is ok. it didn't hurt it very much. i think all will be well as soon as all the parts arrive.

P.S. are the timing rings on the back of the sprocket included with the new sprocket from subaruparts? it looks like it from the diagram but i want to be sure. thanks, Jason

If you're referring to the washer like ring behind the sprocket yes, it should be included.

yes the rings with the high spots on them for the crank sensor to pickup.

I did the same thing once. That pulley ain't cheap either.

I was surprised today when www.subaru.com only wanted $32.00 plus $8.00 shipping for it! I actually expected more, heck they want $160.00 for the crank pulley! :eek:
Good job, Jason!

You may want to check that hole in the crank and see if it is deep enough to accept the full length of the BOLT. See how far in that bolt will go without the pulley in place.

How are you going to hold the crank to torque the bolt? I use a large strap wrench on the pulley.

:D yes it was a pretty good deal for it. you cut me a pretty good one too.;) as you know i don't have a ride right now but i'll get your money order on the way asap.i payed the 18.95 for next day air shipping cause i need my svx back like yesterday:rolleyes: but it's not so bad now cause i caught a piece of metal to my eye when i was zippin off the sprocket and the doctors told me no work till next week.:ouch: i was even wearing safety glasses!:confused: i'll let you guys know how it all goes back together when the part gets here probally tuesday. and since i have the rotozip right now, i'm gonna chop off my pre cats and replace em with good old fashioned pipe and clamps this week. the 18th is drawing near and i'm aiming for some new stock geared n/a svx 1/4 mile times.;) Jason

yes the bolt will go all the way in without the pulley on.:)

What's your current personal best in the 1/4 mile w/ trap speed?

i haven't gotten to run it at the track yet, but i ran against capuano one day and he has the shift kit and 1v4(which i don't) and most of my mods and i ran away from him real quick like:D so i think i can do it or at least come damn close.

Nice. My advice for the 18th to run the best time possible:

1) Remove your spare tire and tools at the strip to lower weight.
2) Don't run with a full tank of gas (1/2 tank or lower).
3) When you get to the starting line, brake torque to 2,000 rpms and on the 3rd amber floor the gas. You won't red light and you should cut a 2.2 sec 60ft time.
4) Don't let off on the gas until you're sure you've completely passed the 1/4 mile timing lights!

Good luck!

got it;) don't worry, i've been racing for a long time now. i'm gonna experiment with launches and see what i find out. really want to see what the "secret" launch produces for times cause it really does feel faster that way when you do it right. the "secret" i'm talking about it is hitting the throttle to part throttle and engaging power mode and then increasing the throttle with rpm. i did it once and it turned into super svx!:D it's hard to repeat though. right now though i'm just hoping to get it running and have enough money to actually do the 18th. we'll see how it goes.:)
