effing crank bolt... Been trying to figure out why I'm not making as much boost as I should be, going over intercooler plumbing, tightening the crap out of the belt... It's been as high as 10-11psi before and it's having a hard time lately making 5-6...
Then I started it and heard a horrible knocking, shut it down and inspected, I could turn the crank bolt with my hand.
The stock crank pulley is pinned and isn't spinning, the MMS blower pulley had all the pins sheared off the back of it (where it had been repaired before) and the stupid blower pulley was spinning behind the crank bolt.
So, I loctited the crap out of the old bolt and put it in with my (wimpy) impact gun so I can drive it up to a local shop to get it all fixed up.
Hopefully repairing the stops on the blower pulley and putting in a new crank bolt will be the fix for the boost issues !
