I rebuilt my engine a couple of days ago and it started once. It wouldn't start again so i took the flywheel off and saw the timing was out by alot, and it has sheared the woodruff key apart.
I was wondering if the engine would be ok for a few days without the woodruff key if I make sure the flywheel is in the correct position. I figured the woodruff key doesn't do anything anyway in terms of holding anything in place because it is so soft, so the flywheel is held in place by the taper. Would the timing slip out without the woodruff key?
