ABSTRACT:
A method of mounting a timing gear on a crankshaft by shrinkage fit. At room temperature, a bore of the timing gear has smaller diameter than that of a mounting portion of the crankshaft. A guide jig having a mounting key portion and a guide key portion is secured to the mounting portion with the mounting key portion being in register with a key way formed therein, which is angularly indexed with respect to a pin portion of the crankshaft. After being heated, the timing gear is mounted on the mounting portion in a predetermined place by sliding it over the mounting portion while engaging a key way of the timing gear with the guide key portion of the guide jig. Then the guide jig is detached from the mounting portion and the timing gear is cooled to effect shrinkage fit thereof on the mounting portion of the crankshaft.
