Does anyone know the dimentions of the "longer crank bolt" that is recomended to use when you install a pulley? I'm about to do my heads/cam swap. Thanks.

 

Yeah, it's 16m on 2.0 pitch, and 120mm in length.

 

Awesome! thanks.

 

Don't do it, install the pulley the right way. Either buy the tool that's on sale here on the board or others I've spoken to lube the crank snout and tap the pulley on with a rubber mallet then use the bolt to tighten it. I'm one of the many disaster stories of bolts breaking off in the crank. The bolt that broke in mine was the longer install bolt.

 

screw that bolt.... its such a pain to find and you dont even need it

i just maletted that sob on there and called it a day

worked great

 

Is there any link to the tool that assists in putting the crank pulley on. Have heard about it, but have yet to find a thread about them.

grease it up and leave it out in the sun, or put in in the oven for a little bit and it will probably slip on far enough to use the stock bolt (get at least 3-4 threads started on there before wrenching)

 

For about $10 you can make a tool that will not damage your threads. Order parts from McMaster-Carr. Threaded rod and nuts, if I remember I got the 300 mm long threaded rod. Here is the tool I made to press the damper back on. To use it, note that the nut on the right in the photo is just to keep it together, thread the rod into the crank all the way and then use two wrenches, one to hold the threaded rod from turning and turn the nut behind the washers. The damper will go right on without any problems. Once on all the way, follow the service manual to the "T".

 

dude...that tool looks exactly like what I built....only not a stack of washers, but an assortment of aluminum spacers I dicovered....works like a charm...

 

I have this and it works great.

Hey Joel how does the tool you picked up work exactly, noticed is has i guess a screw in another or something. Looked alittle weird when i first looked at it, but looks like it does its job.

I like the humor in the concept of "do it right, use a mallet to beat it on there..."

10 minutes in the oven at about 150-175* works great. I slid it on enough for 8-9 threads of the bolt, and it's still hot, so it goes on nice and smooth until it's fully set. I've done it several times, no problemo.

 

Does the person still sell that tool???

 

2XLS1 makes them and sells them "Admin Approved" on here.
