Jim, do you remember what grit the lapping compound was?
> I have an old Miller Wasp welder with a Kohler single cylinder engine. It
> came into my possession because the owner used an pneumatic impact wrench
> to attach the crankshaft nut that secured the flywheel taper. Well, it
> snapped off the end of the crankshaft leaving no threads to secure it. I
> looked at it and figured out that there was enough of a stub protruding
> past the flywheel to allow me to mill the end of the crankshaft flat and
> drill and tap the end of the crankshaft, which I did. I then used valve
> lapping compound on the intersection, and without the key in place, lapped
> the flywheel in to the crankshaft to insure a perfect fitting taper. Then I
> cleaned up the lapping compound, inserted the key and installed the
> flywheel. I then used a grade 8 Allen bolt and a thick washer that fit the
> milled flange on the flywheel. I carefully torqued it into place with blue
> loctite and it is still holding today.
> So, my recommendation to you would be to lap that used flywheel into
> your crankshaft before you torque that crank nut. And use hand tools. No
> pneumatic wrenches on cast crankshaft, ever.
