I have a real stupid question that I think I already know the answer to but just want to double check. I have TWO pathys...a 93 &a 94..did the timing belt, water pump, etc on my 94 last week..went fine..no issues...this week I'm doing my 93..I take the crank bolt out and there IS NO WASHER on this one..and it was tight as hell coming out. I noticed that the end of the bolt was stripped a bit. Number one..isn't is just like the 94..except for the square timing teeth..and number two what if the crank inside is stripped.. some additional info would be helpful. Thanks

The service manual shows a washer there, and I'm pretty sure my '93 had one there. Sounds like whoever did it last had parts left over. It could be that the crank's not tapped down far enough for the bolt to go in without a washer, so it ran into the untapped bit and knackered the end when the last guy ran it down. Hopefully it didn't damage the threads too badly on the way out.
