im in a pickle..replaced my oil pump. Put the balancer back on, hand threaded 3-4 threads and then torqued it to 240ft lbs with the old bolt like ALLDATA stated. Went on with about 60lbs or torque (including resistance of balancer being pushed on).
Went to reverse the bolt out and I got about 2 twist on it before it locked up and exceeded 240 ft lbs in reverse. Then wouldn't go back flat against the balancer when I tried to retighten it. Tried a big 2 ft breaker with another 1ft pipe on it and no luck. Tried a 600ft lb impact that operates at 90psi..but my 12 gallon compressor only stops at 100psi.
I'm scared it's going to snap in the crank. I've been told that's almost impossible or doubtful to happen but i don't know.
Has anyone had or can shed some knowledge and piece of mind here as to if it's safe to really crank on if I take it to the dealership or anything. I really need to replace my camshaft and can't with this issue. Thanks guys
