Mudrunner, were you working on it? What did you have to do to it?

Yes slowly, I had the old style crank bolt. Which worked loose and sheared off the pin holding the Harmonic balancer. So Inhad to teardown the front of my motor to replacethe crank gear and hydrolic tensioner. Took a while because of $$ and Inam a stay at home dad in a complex. But done now and she runs great!

Yup, that old crank bolt. I had this happen to me back in 2008. I took photos and if I remember, I'll go dig those up and post them to this thread. I also have a 3.0L overhaul I'm currently working on that has the new updated bolt. I'll take pictures of that too and kind of round out the thread with before and after photos.

It is a pita for sure but worth it. At least I can do a T-belt no problem.
