I got home from passing emissions today and noticed a clunking sound coming from under the hood of my 1968 FJ-40 with the stock F engine.
Inspection showed that the harmonic banancer/crank pulley was pretty much loose and bouncing around on the crank.
This is apparently a pressed on pulley as there is a hole in the end of the crank but no threads.
Just how sunk am I on this one? I tried both the pulley that was there and another 2 pulley one that I picked up some time ago and they are both pretty loose on the crank. I have some of the permatex bearing retainer stuff for worn parts, but I don't know if that will be strong enough to hold stuff in place.
It looks like the pulley would stay in place being held in place by the belt, but that can't be good having it bounce around like that.
Any suggestions/fixes for this?
