I'm putting my engine back together and the crank spins freely until I put the crank pulley on. When I take the pulley off and just put on the crank bolt it spins fine. the torque wrench I am using only goes up to 150 but when Im tightening the bolt with the crank pulley on it, the crankshaft doesnt even turn, and I know its over 150 ft lbs...need help asap as im working on it right now. thx.

so i guess when i put the crank pulley on it really f'd up the idler gear...I have a spare one of those....but it also put a hairline crack right on the bottom in the middle under where the front crank seal goes....any suggestions on what I should do now? would jb weld hold? I really dont have time tear it all apart again because im using some1's garage and they want it out.

Try to stay away from using JB weld anywhere near the engine ;).

What I enjoy is a member who's name will not be mentioned because he is supposed to have a fairly good reputation and is trademarked by lack of spelling's idea to use JB Weld to fix pitting in a block.

Winner idea.

:icon_mad:

GET A NEW COVER. Its a pain in the ass but you DON'T want leaks there.

Shhhhhhh. You weren't supposed to guess.

JB Weld ftw!

(Maybe I'll use it to tap out that new oil pump mounting hole, but thats a different story :icon_razz, no I'm actually gonna tap it M8x1.25 )
