dowel pin sheared off of crankshaft

[yeti]

whats should i do about this? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

i know i should at least ask

Take it to a machine shop, have the broken piece removed, buy a new dowel and tap it home.

You really need that to keep the flywheel from hammering on the bolts and shearing them off.

Good luck man. From reading the last couple of your threads, it seems like you just can't win.
