Hi,
I changed the timing belt on our "new" 940 today. While in there, I found a small pin that had fallen into the lip beneath the crankshaft gear. It's about 5/8" long, 1/4" in diameter, is shiny steel. The corners (at the ends) are rounded a little and the end is a little indented.
I can't figure out what it is. I looked things over pretty well and couldn't find anywhere that I thought it should go. I've owned 5 240/940s now and have done at least one timing belt on all of them and I don't think I've ever seen this before. I don't think it is anything related to the timing belt housings but it doesn't seem likely that something could have fallen inside the timing belt cover since it is fairly closed.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Lyle
