I did a search but, didn't find anything on the three step procedure. What are the torque specs for each step? I got the bolt tightening sequence already. I am using stock bolts and gaskit and it's a 6 bolt. Thanks in advance.
 
Thanks, Terefic181 for the info. Also, Does anybody know how to hold the crank sprocket and oil pump sprocket in place while tightening the bolts? The oil pan is on. Thanks
 
Hey put the main bolt in the center of the crank pully in with a air gun. Then use a breaker bar to hold the crank pully in place while you tighten the four bolts up..
 
if you do that way with a bolt you can accually end up breaking the bolt off in the crank then you have to drill it and retap it..

We've been turning engines over by hand using this method for years. I don't think it should be a problem. If you have use of an impact wrench just tighten the bolt up to the point that it doesn't turn when you turn the crank. That should do it.

I do have access to an air gun and an electric gun but, neither have a torque reading. You can adjust them though. And the oil pump sprocket I think I can lock it in place with a screw driver. So just give it like a little bit tighter then snug on the crank bolt? I might use the electric gun instead. Breaking the bolt off does not sound good.
Thanks
