[Vwdiesel] timing issue FOUND

[James Hansen]

I would wager that the cam pulley has never ever slipped, and it has been
the crank sprocket all along.
Geez guys, I have wrenched on a bunch of these things, and have NEVER seen a
cam sprocket slip. Just too bad we couldn't have caught that before the new
rebuilt head was toasted off. damn.
Good you found that Nick, before another cam's worth of tuition was paid.

Well done in finding the problem. If my memory is half as
good as Hagars then we previously discussed that some cranks
have a woodruff key and some have a lug on the pulley that
is soft as shit and can sheer off making a mess of the
engine ... my solution was to cut a groove where the lug on
the pulley was and create a true woodruff slot  for a true
woodruff key.
Chicken and egg did the cam slippage cause the lug to strip?
(or was it lug first; which IMO less likely) which STILL
means that you need to keep an eye on the cam area...
