    always something

    well I got the crank bolt out and I got the timing cover off BUT now I have to use the crank bolt with the washer on it to turn the engine so the marks line up, and then its stuck in there again and when I go to get it out, it disrupts my perfectly lined up timing gears :cuss: how do you guys do it? Thanks for all the help and Merry Christmas :banana:

    I usually shove the balancer on by hand and use a strap wrench or something to turn it.

      put the gear on first...then put the bolt on and line it up. The chain and cam gear can go on after that.

        That works. One thing you will quickly learn about these cars is the phrase "its always something" gets used far too often. Absolutely nothing goes as planned.
