Sorry this is not a mopar question.
I just bought a 94 Toyota Corolla for my daughters first car. This car has 275,000 miles on it. $500 car.
The harmonic balancer is all warbled out and the belts keep flying off.
I got a new balancer, timing belt, water pump and timing cover for it. The problem is I can't get the crankshaft timing gear off because of the way the harmonic balancer seems to have sheered off the key and chewed up the timing belt retainer depositing burned metal onto the gear. I figure with all the new belts and water pump the next time it will need any of these parts it will go to the salvage yard. I can get the new harmonic balancer on there lined up with the little nub of a key that's left.
What would be the risk of welding in that key slot? Fire obviously, but I will have a standby fire extinguisher operator. Anybody ever pulled off a stunt like this?
