Wow, you broke the ARP bolt? That is impressive.

 

I do what I can

 

ewww, damn!! i pulled some treads out trying to put mine back on, and broke a peice of all thread trying to pull the new pulley on the crank.

 

This I would like to watch.

 

And not have the crank all gouged up from the rods hanging everywhere?!!!

 

So once I get the engine out how hard is it going to be swapping the crank? Pretty straight forward just time consuming or one of the hardest things to do?

 

I’ve seen it before when someone used an ARP bolt that was too long, allowing it to bottom out in the bolt hole, basically friction welding itself into the bottom of the bolt-hole. It too broke when trying to remove it, causing the need to replace the crank. The individual wouldn’t have likely even known, had the balancer been pulled all the way down, but it wasn’t and he was throwing belts faster than he could put them on.

 

You'll want to have the replacement crank polished, install all new crank bearings, and plastiguage every journal, to make sure it's right.

 

All you have to do is flip the truck upside down, duh

 

everyone knows that is the easy way to do it
