Had an issue after installing a new timing chain set. We forgot to torque the crank pulley bolt and the pulley backed off and dumped out all the oil and flung the belt off after covering everything with nice fresh oil. Problem is, it's an easy thing to fix but the key for the pulley looks too short for what it does. Do any of you have any idea of a part number for the key and who sells it? Tiny part, major issue. Everything else seems fine, but it remains to be seen when we restart the engine. Bore scope doesn't show any damage to the pistons, and even though the VVT sensors ran out of oil for a very short time, I think the valves must be alright. But the clatter when it happened made me think I needed a new engine until I took everything apart on the passenger side and looked at the cause. I did accidentally start the engine for a moment (dumb mistake after pushing the car 3 feet in neutral...it has to be in park to get the key out!) but when it started momentarily, it sounded quiet, normal, and no noise. If I can find a new key I want to reinstall the pulley, torque it properly with the new bolt, and see what happens when I start it up. My son is only around to help with repairs from Mondays to Wednesdays so I have to have it fast or wait another week. It's starting to get pretty cold outside and I don't want to run into nasty Wisconsin weather.

Why does nobody ever think "GM dealers has a parts departments"?

 

Thank you RJ_RS_SS_350 ! I will look locally, I need it fast.

 

Basically, my GM dealership parts department is less than useless and very unfriendly. Also, on several GM parts websites, the key doesn't actually show up when searched. Generally, dealers think their parts are gold plated titanium when you try to buy from them.

 

Thanks, I will get it there if no one has it locally

 

So, not important enough to try.
Chevy, Buick, GMC, Cadillac.

 

I tend to move on when they ask for prats and have never called the dealer.

 

I haven't tried very many times. But when I have, the part I was after was never in stock.
