PLEASE DO NOT BEAT ON IT!! Get a longer crank bolt and pull it on with a socket and breaker bar..using the longer bolt will insure that you do not pull out any threads when first starting to pull it on..after you get it on a ways you can use your old crank bolt the breaker bar and a pipe extention for more leverage to tighten it ... torque it to 235 ft lbs and then take out the old bolt and put the new bolt in and torque to 37 ft lbs and then back to the breaker bar and entention and crank it 140 degrees and you are done with it...

 

Or just get an ARP bolt and torque it to specs. Its much easier

 

i still say ordering that tool is the best,fastest, and easiest way to go. took me like 20 min to get it all the way done.

 

That means it took you 15 minutes longer than me.. .. you can use a longer bolt or a piece of of threaded stock with a couple of thick washers and and a nut..there is a guy on ls1tech that sells those too..the least expensive way it to get a good quality longer bolt and have at it..this is not like working on the space shuttle or anything..everyone on here acks like this is some kind of mystic science project.. .. it is just a simple deal..installing a crank pulley..

 

I buy new OEM crank bolts for $2.77 a piece..they seem like a good deal to me seeing as I have never had one fail me yet..last time I put on a crank pulley it took me all of 5 minutes to do it.. ..

 

i got teh longer bolt at a local construction center and a washer and a tq wrench to tourqe it to 240 or what ever so ill just do what ls1howto says and ill update you after that its tq the timing cover then radiator then start up

 

that should work..as for the comment made above bout being 15min longer... i didnt really time myself..i was just throwing a time out there.. the point is.. it made things easier.. and i didnt have to run to the autoparts store, and hardware store to fabe up stuff that worked.. i had done enough of that... i had to make multiple trips to find bolts that would work with my crane cams tool..cuz the idiots at summit decided to send it to me without the most important bolts of that tool...

the thing bout the tool i keep recomending.. is its all ready to go... just put it on.. and start turning it...no running to find the rite stuff...and i already loaned it out.. and got my money back that i paid for it...so it basically paid for itself...

 

Thats real good for you. Doesn't cost $2.77 a piece for the rest of us though. I like the ARP, you never have to throw it away but what ever works for ya is whats best.

 

Any luck getting the pully on?

 

Come on i know you had to start it up by now!! Tell us whats goin on

 

im going for start up going to film it and ill post it later tonight

 

anything yet?

 

Ohh, come on now....very much...

I know it is intense I can't wait to see the vid I'm on the edge of my key board

 

he's just putting the radiator and the other small items back on now right?

 

i just did the oil cycle start sounds good but waiting on some more coolant to start her up.

 

Dam dude, you should have already had that stuff(coolant).

 

I relize you are past this part. But all you needed is a small dab on the front corners. Not all the way across the bottom.

But hopefully you got it on OK.
