I Blew It! Crank Removal...

[Catbox_95]

For those of you who have been keeping up with my Talon-Saga, I finally installed and tuned my S-AFC 2 today. Tonight, I have blown my engine (no compression from cylinder #1).

Is the crank bolt a reverse-thread or is it the regular, lefty-loosie? I know it's a pain either way, but it would sure help to know that I am loosening it, not tightening it.

Oh sorry, I mean, the crank PULLEY bolt. I searched threads and some say you don't have to remove the large center bolt, and others have. Just wondering if anyone has the truth on this.

No you dont have to remove the big center bolt, just the 4 smaller ones around it. And yes its lefty-loosie just like everything else.
