So being without a car for the week I finally got it back today cause my crankshaft pulley bolt came loose. Didn't cost me no $$ which is even better.

Doesn't the motor turn clockwise ? How did you even loosen that bolt ?

If you don't have it torqued down all the way it can come loose.
Why did that repair take a week?MRT
37.5 MPG, AC on, cruising at 80.
30.0 MPG, AC on, aggressively driving around 90.
27.5 MPG, no AC, cruising at 90 with occasional gridlock. 40 degrees Fahrenheit

My only guess of it taking a week is it was out of timing and even that only takes about an hour?

if the bolt backs out it can strip the threads
mine backed out 5-6 months after rebuilding my motor, i never noticed until i threw two sets of accesory belts, one brand new. which is where i get my awesome experience with the optima yellow top. drove about 50 miles, 35 at night, over a three day period without an alternator, no charging on the side
did the person who put it back on have to locktitie it?_

Yeah I only had a 30 min. each day to look at it cause I was swamped with school work so I didn't look at it close enough to find out the actual problem till Thursday then fixed it yesterday, but atleast it was free

Never use loc-tite on a crank pulley bolt.Originally posted by KB7Acoord View Post
All it needs is clean threads and engine oil. Then torque to specs.
