Wow...I'm glad I didn't push too hard today then. I would have liked to have had this info earlier though. I've asked many questions on head gasket replacement and it never came up. Word is, if I ever want to get that pulley nut off, I'll need an air impact gun. Home depot sells one for $28.00 that makes 250 ft lbs of torque. Is that enough? Also, if I hook it to a rented compressor that makes 150 psi, is that enough to drive the impact gun to 250 ft lbs? And my final question today is: I don't believe I moved the liners while I was fiddling around w/the crank pulley today, everything is still flush and I didn't see anything move, but if I did shift something and I re-assembled the engine, and ran it what would the symptoms be? How concerned about this should I be? Do I now have to take the engine out and apart? --- In dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, "David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxx> wrote: > With the heads off you are supposed to install blocks with bolts to > hold the liners down.
