Just stop and think what would happen if the belt stopped moving, then reread infras post

 

I have a ATI damper, theoretically i could have spun the damper on the crank. but i think the alt just is being gay

 

Jap, what does the belt drive other than the alt...

 

The thing that this thread is all about lol

 

Alan... Lol i got it, at the time i knew it wasnt that because the ac still worked and had boost.

But my point was even if i sheared the crank key way, the damper is pressed on, it wouldnt spin in place

I think the alt may be on the outs or my Volt meter is wrong by a couple volts

I showed 11.6V when i put it on the battery posts with car running

 

if you shear the key the ati will spin on the snout it only has 5tenths press which is not much that is one reason why I extend the keyway

 

Extened keyway makes the fffr easier to install as well

 

Anyone pull an ATI off? That day is coming and I've got some ideas but nothing concrete.

 

Pull the bolts in the damper and thread a couple bolts in there as jackscrews

 

yea get a puller and remove 3 of the torx bolts and pull it off

 

Ya i pulled steves off

Have to take the engine mount loose to get the dampaner off.

T40 and T45 torx socket needed

Then used a pulley puller or somethin to pull the hub off.

 

I can be done!

 

Steve watched me do most the work with the wheel on. Lol

 

this is true

I was making Pizza

 

Bomb pizza

 

I like pizza

 

im installing one on Hockeymans car this evening, think im gonna tap it on with a mallet to start it then use the old crank pulley bolt to push it on

 

Tjolley ill make u a deal, when time comes and if ur able/want to. Ill cook u steak in exchange for ur help swapping out heads and s/c's....

 

I wouldn't tap it on you could damage the thrust bearing go get a long piece of all thread and a nut and washer and put it on correctly

 

^^ This. I damaged a thrust bearing on the crank in my old motor putting the ATI on with a hammer. I didn't whale on it either, just slowly tapping it in.

 

I used a heat gun and heated the middle where the crank slides on for about 5 min. The ATI slid on about 50% of the way then I just used the crank bolt for the rest. Makes it much easier knowing you are lining everything up before cranking it down with the bolt.

 

..

Im down
Swaping a head is easy. Couple hours.

Ask steve we had his head off in proly 2 1/2 hrs and that will taking a pizza break. Lol
Can be done faster with out interuption.

 

How much did you clearance the timing cover?

 

Not much actually. I had the cover off when I did it so I could mock up the ati and belt clearance as I took away material. Otherwise on the car you're hoping you've taken off enough and pressing that ATI on.

 

got a pic?
