crank bolt

My crank bolt started stripping out after about the 4th time I took the balancer off. Does any one know that the threads are so I can find another bolt and tap to clean the crank threads?

Some do, but its not too bad if you have the right hand tools. I used a 24inch breaker bar and it was no trouble and I weight around 160lbs. Should be easier if your packing more weight.

you can get the arp bolt from thunder racing. i just put one on my car when i did my cam swap and it is alot nicer than the original. It's a hair longer too. the only downside is you need a 27mm 12 point socket. i had to buy one.
