...
sorry bout the size cell pics.
when the main pulley came off i dont know. how the bolt wasnt stripded or damaged and the pulley itself seems ok. the only thing that worries me is that I pushed in the pulley by hand all the way in and it was loose and had alot off plAy around it. has this ever happened to someone, why did it happend, and how can ifix ASAP the right way this my DD and i work six days a week. any advice is helpful. just incase wondering its a ASP pulley w/altenator pulley...HELP and what is the shaft sticking out the motor? i know its not suppose to.

 

Have you ever had the pulley off before???

 

you need a new pulley.the bolt wasnt tight enough and it spun loose. use a new bolt and some loc-tite next time.

 

The shaft is the crank snout. It is supposed to be like that. Your bolt wasnt tight enough and, like said, the pulley came loose, wobbled around and now you need a new pulley.. and bolt.

 

He said it's a ASP crank pulley.

I agree with everyone above, need a new pulley and crank bolt also use lock tight on it.

 

I may be out of the norm, but I dont recommend Lock tite for the bolt. If you use a NEW GM bolt (like youre supposed to), the red stuff under the head is a type of "Lock Tite". Also, if the bolt is TQed correctly, you shouldnt have any problems. Ive had many a crank bolt on and off and havent had issues. I actually switch the the ARP bolt. Worth the cash.

 

Check the crank snout to make sure it didn't wear away any material. Honestly I'd be tempt to just reuse both lol. It's not a true balancer, its a dampener. As long as it presses on tightly and you can torque the bolt on pretty tight, you should be good to go.

 

ive seen it happen with asp pulleys before. you have to tighten the bolt as tight as you physically can, then get a longer cheater bar and get someone to help you tighten it some more lol.

your asp pulley is junk now, and your crank should be fine.

 

Why is his pulley junk now?

 

when they come loos and spin off it scarrs/deteriorates the aluminum inside of it. at this point he can probably just slip his ASP pulley on and off of his crank snout by hand.
