I think the grooves in the sprocket inside diameter are there to help keep the sprocket and the shaft from seizing together.

I know that it looks like there should be splines on the crankshaft, but there are not. I have looked at numerous images of the crankshaft in new condition and have yet to find splines on the shaft. Have you actualy dealt with that particular model (d16y7) ? If so, then i wm going to have to replace the shaft, but i am relatively certain that it is designed to be a smooth crankshaft.

You definitely want to properly blead the master cylinder. Another reason to make sure you are cateful with the excess brake fluid is that that stuff will ruin a paintjob in seconds.

Woodruf keys are relatively inexpensive, so i purchased a new one for yhe pulley. There sctually are no splines on the crankshaft
It’s smooth as a baby’s bottom. The groove on the crankshaft is fine. Total for parts came y 125 dollars and change. Yes, there was a severe diminution in power, and yhe engine soumded like it wasnt breayhing at all. I dont think it did any damage internally, but when the parts come in this weekend, we’ll find out. Thanks for the feedback. Oh, and i bought the car recently off of craigslist on the cheap. There were anumber of home engineering projects on the vehicle that i am slowly correcting. I figure that the knuckleheads i bought it off of figured it didn’t really need that bolt, because the threads in the endof the shaft look fine, and i would think they would have been buggared up otherwise. Oh well, we’ll see how it wotks out. Jerry.Woodruf keys are relatively inexpensive, so i purchased a new one for yhe pulley. There sctually are no splines on the crankshaft

Must have been worn off as a result of the missing bolt from the end of the crankshaft. Ordered it, the bolt,a woodruf key, and a spacer. Total: $125.00. My ride’s broke for now. Hopefully it wont be this weekend, but it looks like I will be even…???broker???.

The solenoid is just a switch of sorts. When you turn the key to the start position, it completes the circuit between the battery and the actual starter motor. If you turn the key, and the starter turns over normally, then the starter and the solenoid are most likely functioning properly. If it does not turn over normally, then you will want to troubleshoot the starter, battery, solenoid, and related circuits, fuses and relays. Sounds like your starter and solenoid are fine. First thing you need to do is find out if you are getting spark at those spark plugs. If so, check to see that your fuel injectors are delivering fuel to their respective cylinders. Go back and check for spark and let us know if you are getting spark. I like to see it for myself, so i would have my assistant turn the key while i am looking for spark. You might consider using a spark tester. You can get one for a few dollars at just about any auto parts shop. Well worth the investment.
