Lowe balancer/pulley torque #
from the gm service manual:
the correct torque is:
Crankshaft Balancer Bolt - First Pass - Install a NEW Bolt After the Installation Pass and Tighten as Described in the First and Final Passes
first pass 37 lb ft
Crankshaft Balancer Bolt - Final Pass
140 degrees
you can estimate the 140 degrees,, just put a mark on the bolt head and next to it on the pulley, you know where 90 degrees is and 180 degrees
you better have the flywheel locked with the correct tool if the engine is on the stand and have a very long bar to put on the end on a 1/2" or 3/4" breaker bar and have a couple guys hold the engine if it is on a stand
