need to loosen the crank pulley but everything keeps turning. the flywheel is off so i can't hold it with that. and i'm working without air tools.

TIA

 

socket with breaker bar and hammer. A sharp blow should work on the bolt.

 

You can put two of the flywheel bolts back in across from each other and have someone hold a prybar across them while you looses the bolt.

 

or pull the oil pan and let the crank spin around and bind on a hammer handle

 

thanx guys i did the flywheel bolt method and worked fine. i'll keep workin on it tomorrow.

 

not trying ot be nosey =] but what ya doing to her?

 

Probably a total rebuild - new crank, pistons, etc. After all, it DOES have a Fram filter screwed on there, so it's probably toast.

I was gonna suggest a 2x4 between a crank throw and the case, but ede beat me to it.

 

LOL

yea the fram filter kinda worried me but i got this L98 block and heads for cheap (80K miles) so i couldn't pass it up. planning on sending it to the machine shop this week and rebuilding it with a lil better than stock parts then putting it in my 91 Formula. i got parts all over my garage plus another complete Formula that i'm using for parts as well.

 

THIS IS NOT A JOKE, FRAM MAKES THE WORST FILTER ON THE MARKET, DO NOT RUN EM, EVEN IF THE PARTS STORE IS GIVING EM AWAY @2_FOR_1.

 

damn... i was under the impression fram was a good oil filter. why do they suck so bad? lol (maybe thats why i blew my engine? lol)
