Crankshaft Mysteries - Please Help w/ pulley bolt torque spec.

[inov8tn]

Hi all -

My manual seems to lack the torque spec for the 4 bolts used to attach the serpentine belt pulley to the front of the crankshaft.

It didn't take much to remove them 20-30 ft-lb but I'd like to put them on right.

Also, would using some blue Loctite on them make sense?

Thanks!

tighten them by hand you dont need to over do them and a little lock tight never hurt anything just dont use it on spark plugs lol

Hi -

The saga continues after a break to investigate fuel starvation on my other vehicle.

I am still in the 'diagnosis' phase and am almost finished removing the head.

I have removed the serpentine belt, manifolds and have the studs out too but the head seems to be glued to the block and I can't see an obvious place to apply a pry bar.

I've banged on the forward and rear cam bearing mounts to no avail.

Suggestions?

Thanks!

- Bill

If you have a pry bar that has a plastic covered handle, take the covered handle and put it into a intake, or exhaust port and give it yank.
