I'm sorry but I do not speak much English and I did not understand ^^ Thank you The harmonic balancer is bolted to the crankshaft and the pulleys are bolted to it. When you bolt it to the crankshaft, it must be torqued to 200 lb/ft of torque (200 lb / pi de couple) using a torque wrench. If the balancer is not bolted on to those specifications, it will work loose and ruin your crankshaft. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recall you saying that you have been looking for them for a long time! Yes I took 4 years to find a solution for the brake disc.as I did not find, we found records ( disks ) 1986 oldsmobile and I have machined the disc completely for them to be exactly like my original, it's expensive but at least I have new disks :). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magic marouke Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 regarding the quick release clamp you have on your positive battery cable . I had a set of those a few years ago and they didn't make that good of a contact . very convenient though . I swapped them for some regular factory clamps and was fine after that . maybe I had poor quality ones back then but if you have problems I'd look at the clamps first . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
