fixed timing pin easily

[scott thomas]

Here it goes...
Welding didn't work. The pin broke off twice. The welds were good,too.

What worked was drilling the old pin and hammering the new pin in.
Simply put. The crank fin is very soft metal. So soft, I couldn't
believe that I was recommended by several to weld. It took me seven
seconds to make the initial hole and another 15 dig it in deeper. You
must use sharp titanium drill bits. I used an old one and it went
nowhere. Opened a newone up and it went in so fast I thought the
drill broke. Hammered the new pin in and I'm set.
