 The pin is not only alignment but keeps the flwwheel from turning on the

 Errrr....one little roll pin? Stop it ...you're killing me. <grin> I try to
stay out of these things BUT...
OK gang..the roll pin is there ONLY for the aid of the poor schmuck that
installs the flywheel bolts at the factory. The crank and flywheel are both
balanced to "zero" and NOT balanced as an assembly (If one flywheel or crank
gets misplaced, dropped or damaged the whole line would come to a screatching
halt while they tried to match parts)
The guy sticking bolts in cannot take the time to center the holes OR risk
buggering something up when starting the bolts so they index (pin) the crank
and flywheel during the drilling operations ..that's all..really....


Yeah..pin in? great!..Pin out?..it's zo-kaay
