The Scooby Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 ok well yesterday i finished up redoing the oil pump, and put the new belts and stuff on my car. i got everything back together and crank her over, she starts right up without a single tick, well anything really noticeable. then everything stops, the pulls stop turning, so i turn off the car. i can move them by hand, ends up the dam bolt that hold the crank pully on wont stay tight, i tightened it 3 times, reefin on it, no use. so now what should i do, i was thinking of gettin some thread locker and put it on there and see what it does. please help me, i got my lisence back in 3 days and i have insurance, and i need to get to my job with this car. Thanks, Shean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All_talk Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 A 1/2" air impact is the best tool (need to have the rad out). Or you can use a 1/2" breaker bar, trick with the breaker bar is you need to lock up the motor, if its a stick put it in a high gear and lock the e-brake, if its an auto things get complicated. I'm not sure what the torque spec is but it needs to be tight. Good luck Gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oddcomp Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 time out before you go impacting stuff i would bet your problem is you lost the little tiny almost a hair bigger than 1/8 inch pin that fits in a hole in the crank pulley and also fits in a small hole on the outer timing belt sprocket with out that pin it will allow the crank pulley to slip and then stuff loosens up yadda yadda i lost mine but noticed it before i put back on got a pice of steel rod close to the right size and cut it off and it seems to work fine oh and to tighten the nut i used a torque wrench and stuck a big screw driver in the inspection hole to wedged the fly wheel teeth i have done it often and have had no tooth damage yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Scooby Posted March 31, 2004 Author Share Posted March 31, 2004 i highly doubt i lost anything because there is nothing in my work space, i didn't loose a single nut or bolt, NOW THATS AMAZING!!!, and everything went back together as it should, but ill check and see. thanks for pointing out that problem it might be.
