I was changing my timing belt for the first time and when I removed the crank pulley I got a good look at how much rust was on there. So naturally I started to clean it off. I was planning on painting it when I started wondering if I'd throw the balance off and destroy the crank.
Would removing the rust and painting kill my crank balance?
Just to add another question to this topic, I heard that the bolt holding the timing gear on is a single use item. I've already got the woodruff key and was planning on reusing the bolt with blue loctite. Would that be ok or should I replace the bolt? My car is a 90 SNC FWIW.
