New CAT Air compressor Locked up?

when i pull cover, i will definitely, pin the engine a tdc and check the timing marks on the gears to make sure it didnt skip timing.
Any thoughts and opinions are appreciated

 

yeah ill drop the pan again too.
Frst thing i did was did compressor.
Next pulled pan and eplaced gasket
Next pulled hood and installed pitts power radiator and Charge air cooler
Spent hours in the cold doing all this.
No its great, cause i get to do everything i just id for 2 weeks ll over again.
But hey thats trucking life. ITs either sink or swim right?
I choose to swim becuase i enjoy being an owner operator.
I will document with pictures when im done. i promise

 

i promise you, if i see any teeth damaged o the other gears whe i pull the cover, i will pull them. Found plenty of gears for ale without having to buy new. Like said, 1 thousand buys one gear from cat. 1 thousand wll buy me all good condition used gears.
My cat manual is telling me to heat the cam gear to 570 for 30 minutes to install back on cam. My oven goes to 550 So im thinking illlet it sit in there for 40 minutes and aybe heat it with oxy and acetylene for a few seconds before putting on. Pulling the gear shoulnt be a problem with the puller i have coming. I will hat with torch and get it to cherry beforehand just to be sure

 

Ok and thank you for these tips
Also, ill be bringing the compessor to peterbilt in te morning. more i think about it, more angry i get. There is no way the gear should have sheered off the wooddrift key on the snout and ripped off the bolt. Even if over torqued. This compressor locked up. Maybe a wrist pin failed or something i dont know

 

any recommednations on a amazon hot plate to do this?
