Just installed my March pulley!! Not a bad install over all. I was a little worried about putting that much stress on the crankshaft threads to seat the pulley. I got the longer bolt to do the install and I would def. reccomend Hawks tool instead. I actually threaded my bolt in quite far by hand, started to torque it down and at about 180 ft lbs the bolt broke free. I was like oh ****, I just ruined the crank.
I couldn't understand it because it was not crossed. When I pulled the bolt out 1 perfect ring of the internal threads came with it. I blew out the hole with compress air dipped another bolt in oil thread it in and out a few times and proceeded to install again. Everything seemed to have went fine. I got it as close to 240 ft lbs as possible using my legs! Seems to be lined up got on it hard and it did not throw the belt. Hope i got it seated all the way back. could someone give me a measurement like from the back of the pulley to the timing chain cover.
