I would try heating the block with an oxy torch and spraying freezer spray at the shaft. you may be just able to get it to come out. there is no such thing as seized permanently unless it has welded itself in which is unlikely. Since it was running previously You should be able to shock it out. I have released a lot of jammed parts this way, old rusty pipes etc.

i think
the whole problem was created by a over tight cam chain. i just changed the cam in my car and when i fitted it i didnt release the chain tensioner. and when it fired it up it had that whine sound from the front on the timing case. after a few mins i decided to kill it and look at what was wrong before it did damage. the chain was to tight. after removing the tensioner and re-setting it.the whine went away. and afaik the aux gear is the week point in the chain set up.. so a over tight cam chain = dead aux shaft.or extreme guide wear. |

I thought the the timing chain tensioner is a self tensioning unit? You just release it and it springs and tensions the tensioner? So how exactly can you over tighten it?... BTW I am doing my timing chain tensioner at the moment and I don't plan on snapping anything...so help is appreciated. phong =P~

phongus, i assume he meant, he changed the cam over without trying to let any tension off the chain, and when he slipped the cam gear back on it was too tight, cause the tensioner shifted out trying to regain tension

Like I said buddy. It aint coming out. I used everything imaginable. Including what you just said. Besides, there'd more than likely be metal shavings in the oil by this stage which writes off the block anyway. I agree with phongus. It's what I've thought all along. play in the chain could cause the shaft to seize. It would also explain the massive amount of chain rattle I was getting just before the shaft seized.

Well i had to take out the cam as it was out by 1 tooth after chaning a headgasket. During this process, i did tighten the chain. I must of tighten it to tight. Had it all working and took it for a test drive and then the chain snaped which could of caused the aux shaft to sezie.
Ive taken out the dizzy and tried using a crow bar to push it out and had no luck. The thing that i dont get is how does it sezie in there? There is nothing for it to get stuck on or in. I guess im up for another engine now. More money to spend on the stupid car.

Next time my headgasket blows I'm getting a new engine regardless. It's easier to install and ends up being cheaper! $500 for a second hand motor with warranty and you get anywhere from $200-$300 for an otherwise good engine with a blown headgasket. And an engine swap is a piece of piss if you've got ramps and a forklift

It would work out cheaper for an engine change. This headgasket cost me over $800. Like you said, can get an engine for that price.
So does anyone know where to get a cheap engine in sydney?

I paid $2k for mine last time. LOL
I had nowhere to work on the car and with only one car getting parts etc. was too hard. My wife said just get it fixed so i limped it to the engine specialists in sunshine and got them to do everything. new water pump as it was shagging out, idlers, welsh plugs seeping, rear main seeping. Injector reco. the result was a car that ran better than it had in 3 years.
