My car is actually in my shop on the lift, working on it for the Mojave Mile run on April. I looked at the harmonic balancer to refresh my memory and the engine does not need to come up. The thread pitch on the crank bolt is a fine thread and none of the adapter in my installer kit fits. I id not have an extra crank bolt to weld so I had to modify the original bolt to be able to reuse.

Dynomite, I text you the pictures.
