Installation notes
The woodruff key fits into a slot in the crankshaft and prevents the timing gear from rotating. Check the slot for wear before installing a new key. Ensure the key is fully seated in the slot before fitting the timing gear.
Compatibility
IMPORTANT: This component is only for L-134 engines with gear-to-gear timing. Early Willys MB, Ford GPW and early CJ-2A (until approx. May 1946, engine #44418) had chain drive timing and use a different system. Always verify which type of timing drive your engine has before ordering.
Historical context
From mid-1946, Willys switched from chain drive to gear-to-gear drive for the camshaft on the L-134 engine, a system that became standard on all subsequent civilian and military jeeps fitted with this engine.
