I got the engine out of my car finally, having trouble removing the crankshaft sprocket bolt so Im going to make the tool to grip the sprocket and flywheel better.
was wondering when I'm putting everything back together, should I use threadlocker on the cranksprocket or just only torque it to 85ft. pounds? Was just wondering since I read they come from the factory with it on there.
would it be a good / bad idea to use threadlocker on any other of the sprockets / pulleys? I know the oil punp sprocket's a good idea, some people even put a spot of weld on the nut, I understand why since my oil pump sprocket has came loose twice with only just tightening the nut.
