Big Poppa Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Fill the engine with water to hydrolock it. Torque teh bolt, then drain. Edit: Requisite smilie... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigfoot Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 I used a large leather strap wrench to hold the HB/enging from rotating and did the torquing then. Was the best I could come up with. If I remember right though, there is a torque number and then a degree measure past that? Or is that something else I'm thinking of? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen just a 240 lb-ft spec on everything I've read. TTY bolts are usually what you said, torque then degrees past.. But I have yet to see that for this.

TTY bolts are usually what you said, torque then degrees past.. But I have yet to see that for this. My '08 service manual states 240# for the initial installation, then remove and install a new bolt. Tighten the new bolt to 37# on the first pass and then add 140 degrees for the final.

That's great, thanks. Do all the LS motors use the same bolt, hence the same numbers here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevieG Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Torquing the HB bolt is a pain, Toms settings are what I used when I pinned my crank, Joe is going to do my replacement ATI Balancer, cam, oil pump and trunions as soon as I get all the parts in.

zook62 Posted February 20, 2013 Author Share Posted February 20, 2013 Finally got this in now that I got the right part. I was originally shipped that pulley that didnt remotely line up. I'll button up the rest of it tomorrow and cross my finger for no troubles.m Thanks for all the help. Makes it a lot easier... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing worse than having to do a $hitty project twice Glad you have it in the homestretch! Thankfully I didn't have to do it all again. Just had to press and pull the pulley twice. Here's a shot of the 2nd balancer the guy sent me. Lipped on the back side and snap ring on the front. Makes muuuuch more sense. And here she is all ready to go. Drove it to work today and had no troubles. I'd also like to note that the power steering was a piece of cake to bleed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
