To reinstall, my installer was not long enough to reach the thread on the crankshaft so I had to modify the crank bolt. PM me your cell no. and I'll text you pics.

This is what I have
1. Harmonic Balancer.
The Harmonic balancer is initially installed using a
standard harmonic balancer bolt welded to a longer threaded shaft (the Harmonic Balancer bolt alone is not long enough to initially set the Harmonic Balancer). Use Red Loctite (262) and torque the Harmonic Balancer bolt to 148 ft-lbs (
block of wood jammed into the crankshaft area with oil pan removed).
Be carefull the timing chains are not locked on the timing chain idler sprocket preventing the crankshaft from turning.
