1996 nissan patrol failed front pulley assembly .Retaining bolt must have come loose no noticeable vibration must have been loose for some kms .At 120000kms flogged out keyway pulley assembly came off.Only warning, overheating, belts gone, alt and air cond both gone.Has anyone had similar experience? On examination the nose of the crankshaft appears ok pulley centre severely damaged but will buildup and machine ok.

Has happened to afew, and flogs the end of the crank so it normally needs replace or repair.

Will keep you guys informed this vehicle belongs to close friend and we are going to do some pretty bold stuff.I am am a diesel fitter guess you would say from the old school and my trade has kept me in earthmoving.I have assessed the fitup and the harmonic balance is very all almost insignificant.It has four vbelt pullies bolted to it making up its size. The keyway is intact the nose of the shaft is visibly marked but not misshapen.Relying on the fact no vibration occured even though the assembly was quite loose my guess is the engine requires little balancing.
I am going to use Loctite super retaining compound a new primary pulley new retaining washer and bolt .After we are sure the assembly remains firm I intend to studloc the retaining bolt.Mendham Engineering here in
Brisbane can repair the nose of the crank if we fail.Remove the engine flip it up take out the crank repair refit with mains and journals will be the next move when time permits we wont be stripping and recond at these kms .Quotes of $6000 TO $7000 seem to be the numbers but not in this
camp .Thanks guys will keep you updated coz I reckon the problem exists in all these Nissans and there is probably a bulletin issued by Nissan to dealers to
check at service intervals.

I had a similar thing happen to my old SD33T.
I caught it before it let go, just pure arse I suppose.
A little bit of damage to the crank but used 670 loctite and new key way. No futher dramas until I sold it and bought an 80 series.

Oscar,
I had the same thing with my last 4by..a pajero. I had to replace the pully at $360 ( was quoted $700 by mitsubishi ) and "boged" the woodruff key with shellys metal two part
putty. worked a treat but sold the truck.......for a 2.8 TD Patrol. Guess what i,m doing to night !
Good luck with the repairs
Cheers Nino.
