If you had a problem with the crank turning it probably might have helped, let us know how it turns out. Good luck.

That worked out just right. I finally got everything tightened down and went for a drive everything seems to be running fine. Thanks for the help. By the way do you know the size hose that runs from the the radiator to the throttle body?

How can i install my crank pulley if the motor is out of the car? Or would it be easier to wait till i had it in the car. Since my car isnt a standard does drive compensate for 5th gear or what?
