Thanks Blake! I might take you up on that. Stuck on getting the pulley off now!

[G701LE]

One F'ING bolt........ ONE. That's what I accomplished today!!!!

[G701LE]

Nope. No injectors that I have found! Wonder when they will be here?!?!

[avido]

if it's hard to remove you have to use a little bit of heat

[G701LE]

Thanks Avido. I already got the bolt out with a pry bar wedged and a lot of torque. I am fighting the pulley itself. Going on 2 days wresting with the crank pulley!!!
I've tried 3 different pullers......

[G701LE]

Well. Slow going still. But, today was a success! Finally got the harmonic balancer off. Just a heads up. If you are taking yours off, USE A CHRYSLER PULLER!! Fit like a glove. Install starts tomorrow

Yes. I found the injectors. Be sure to save yourself a headache and borrow a Chrysler puller! I used an 8" for a Chevy, and it wouldn't lock on. Got the Chrysler one and it took me 10 minutes!
Also, be prepared to drill and tap your crank to pin it!

Another day gone by and got the crank pinned. Went to install the ATI damper to find out not all 9 bolts line up. And the directions say all 9 bolts must go in. It is the offset hole that throws 2 of the holes off. Any suggestions?
I also tried pulling apart the headlights by baking them. Baked them 10 different times. Running a knife and flat blade screwdriver around the edge to break up the glue. Scars and bruises later...... still factory sealed!!!
I am done for the day.......

At this point I am wondering if I should even change my own oil

Welcome to mechanicing Lol, the first time you go for a ride all the blood sweat and tears will be worth it

[Silver2SS561]

Cut yourself a little slack! Even mechanics that do this stuff for a living run up against obstacles similar to yours. Think about how much you have learned. If you started the build over today knowing what you now know it would take you 1/3 of the time to get it done. Wish I had your patience and drive.

Thanks guys. I just took a step back today to give myself a break before I have a heart attack. BiggFoot, could you please snap a photo of your Super Damper" install for me? Are all 9 bolts put in?

I will take a look tomorrow. You are talking about the bottom pulley that bolts to the crank, right? I just drive the darn thing and shell out $$$ when I want something changed. I suck as a mechanic.
