BDHG940 Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 Not sure the correct name for it but its the key that slides into the crank and holds the cam gear. Need one asap and hope I can find one locally, help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneSlow04GEETEE Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 Pretty sure they are built onto the crankshaft itself...at least that's how mine was. Couldn't get the stock one off for the life of me, not that I needed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rl Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 It's a woodruff key, they do come out. The old 4v cars used to break them with aftermarket balancers and the 2 peice bottom gear. Ford is your best bet. My machine shop made one for me a long time ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BDHG940 Posted April 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 Yea I ended up finding one at ricart so we could start putting the engine together. By the way they fit in there, I dont think they are intended to really come out. It is an aftermarket crank so maybe its spec is a little different than the stock one but it worked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dammit Charlie Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 The Ford Part number is F1AZ-6B316-AA. They are $2.74 each, and I'm sure your local dealer can get one for you in less then 3 business days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
