Do i have to insert the woodruff key inside my harmonic balancer for it to start?
04-29-2015
wait a minute.....you didnt put the key back in the slot in the crank?
if you did was it lined up with the balancer?
04-29-2015
I just put the balancer pulley on I didn't know what the key was for or where it went
04-29-2015
damn. take it back off again. then put the key in the slot in the crank, then line up the groove in the balancer and put it back on.
if need be you can turn the engine so the key is facing up/ the top side of the crank.

Yea I'm going to have a real hard time getting the bolt off now since my car won't start this time
04-29-2015
there should have been a key in your crank. when you put the pulley back on theres a slot in the pulley that lines up with the key on the crank. ensure you did this properly or there will be major issues

I said this in post #12. If you didn't line up the existing woodruff key in the crankshaft with the balancer then your motor timing could be off. Stick a vice-grip on the flexplate to keep the motor from turning and pull the crank bolt back out and be sure you have the balancer lined up with the key.

you can still do the red neck starter bolt deal if need be, as long as the engine will crank over, its the starter that undoes the bolt.

The Flexplate is the flywheel right?
04-29-2015
yup
04-29-2015
Where do the key go??
04-29-2015
Insert it like this?
04-29-2015
Like this?
04-29-2015
Or like this

It should fit into the crank, kinda like you have in the second pic.

Please tell me this is the right way?
04-29-2015
It goes into the crank, not the harmonic balancer.....Well, this is not a pic of a 3800, but this is the general idea:
