i was working on my bug and out of habit gave a tug to the fan belt pulley (the lower one connected to the crankshaft) and it moved in and out, maybe .5mm and with a thump when i moved it forward.
problem is the motor is only two years old, and i can't believe it could possible have cocked up already.
there is no oil leak at all, and i know the last time my big end bearing had gone (the reason i got this recon in the first place) my car was leaving its mark everywhere. there is also no shudder on the clutch which would be a clue that there's a small leak on the flywheel side right?
anyway, what i want you to tell me, is that its still early enough to see to it, pull motor and reshim the flywheel? it is bloody awful that it should happen now! or even that this is of no concern whasoever.
any advice?
