ConditionsVMC

OperationFAR 091

Probable Cause

The total loss of engine power due to the shearing of the woodruff key that indexed the crankshaft gear and hub assembly to the crankshaft, which resulted in the gear and hub rotating from their indexed position and caused the crankshaft-to-camshaft timing to become misaligned.
