Re: timing key update

[Gary Wilson <Gwwilson67@xxxxxxxxx>]

I block the flywheel or ring gear on the torque converter with a wedged shaped 
block of wood then torque the bolts.  If you have help have someone hold a pry 
bar against the teeth to keep it from turning. With the block of wood then when 
you have correct torque you just back the flywheel up and little and out comes 
the block of wood.

No,,,,,that is not the correct way,,,,,,,,,, and Yes that is how I  would 
do it,,,,,,,, the pound rating is not for seating or end play adjustment,  it 
is for keeping the pulley from falling off

Hi all,

An update on changing the timing chain on a  poly 318. Reminder: I was 
having a problem removing the key in the   crank. Thanks for all the 
suggestions. I tried them and never did get the key  out. That sucker is "one" 
with the 

crank! So I tried the tip from club member  Darwin: I used a small pipe 
that was big enough to fit over the crank to push  on the lower timing gear, 
tapped on the gear, adjusting the chain/top gear  accordingly as the assembly 
slid on.

Then I spent some time yesterday  putting the rest of the stuff back on the 
engine. Only one setback: when I put  the timing gear cover on and was 
ready to put on the water pump I noticed in  the parts box the crankshaft oil 
slinger sitting there staring at me. Duh!  It's definitely not better R&R the 
timing chain cover the second time  around! :) Better then than after all 
the other stuff was put back on, though!  

One quick question: the torque for the crankshaft pulley bolt is 135  foot 
pounds. Using a torque wrench spins the engine, so do I just tighten the  
bolt full in until using the ratchet the crank spins, then use the electric  
impact wrench I have and turn the bolt slightly, say 1/3 more?  

Thanks,
Gary H.
