Stripped bolts on harmonic balancer
#18
Before I received your reply I ended up taking the belt off and tried again.

I think it's perfect now.

The last thing that's being a pain is torquing that big bolt to 94.

When I was younger I would crawl under the car and lock up the flywheel. I'm almost an invalid now so I can't do that. I don't have any special tools to lock up the engine so I'm brainstorming (with my last remaining brain cell).

I read that I might be able to use that aluminum strapping material that has the holes in it. Attach that to one of the small bolts and then anchor to another bolt or frame rail.

EDIT: The aluminum strapping method worked quite well. I doubled it up (cause it ripped with a single layer) and used one of the small bolts on the crank and anchored the other side of the strap to the bolt that holds the dipstick on.
