Hi,
I just did the water pump, timing belt and front seals on my 88 740t w/270k. Everything was going well until it starting making a helicopter noise on the way home. I thought, "I'll check it out when we get home." Well, I lost the power steering, alternator and it started to heat up so I had to pull over. Evidently I did not torque the crank pulley properly after putting everything else back together. I have't had time to look at it yet but I'm sure I sheared off the pin that the pulley meshes into. I looked in the faq's and this seems to be a real bit of a problem. I read about filing down the head of a bolt and another technique that requires lots of superglue, drills bits and other tools. Has any one else had this happen? Its a shame that the only time the car has let me down is a result of my own oversight. What to do? Your help would be much appreciated.
