DESCRIPTION
The Crankshaft Key (part number 68271) is a small metal component that connects the crankshaft to the engine flywheel or harmonic balancer, ensuring proper timing and rotation. It is a small yet crucial part of the engine assembly, as it prevents slippage and misalignment between the crankshaft and other components. The key must be precisely fitted into its slot on the crankshaft, with a tight interference fit to prevent movement during operation. Over time, wear and tear may cause the key to become damaged or worn down, leading to engine performance issues such as vibration or loss of power. Regular maintenance checks should include inspection of the crankshaft key for any signs of damage or wear, and replacement if necessary.
