Ok guys-
I am trying to install my PB pulley and cannot get it on far enough to let the stock crank bolt get a grip of any threads..
How are you guys doing this?
Thanks
Jeff

Don't use a bolt at all, you risk the threads. Every week there is someone on this forum or another that I frequent that has totally buggered their crank for no reason using a bolt to get the damper on. Make a tool. Its cheap and doesn't risk your threads in the crank snout. I made this one for less than $20 and have used it several times.
Also, if you read the Powerbond instructions you should ensure the correct interference fit, which is around 0.0009" - 0.0014" if I remember correctly. The numbers are in the instructions. Bottom line, the hub ID is less than the crank OD, but the number of 1/10,000ths of interference is critical for it to correctly damp the crankshaft harmonics.

Yeh, looks like it is..
Story of my life...
Now I need to figure out if I ordered the wrong part or if they sent me the wrong part..
Either way, I shoulda looked at the box...
Oh well.. Anyone need a corvette pulley?

I just received my C5 Powerbond pulley last week (well, actually the second pulley, after some Fedex shipping damage). Check with Neweraperformance.com if you need to order another pulley. They have a pretty good deal on them. Sorry I can't take that C5 pulley off your hands. It shouldn't be too hard to sell on the forum though.
