I got the Crank tooth pulley from Gab today and started to put the car back together, I have the crank lock tool and a big Torque wrench, I had everything lined up and Torque the bolt to the spec in My Bentley manual, the first click of the ratchet I stopped and tried to turn the car over by hand .It would not budge, I removed everything again to see if I had the belt jammed up but nothing was out of place.
I repeated the steps again and got the same results (no Movement) So I loosen the bolt and only tightened it to 165 ft lb's and The crank moves freely now .

Is this way to little torque for this bolt or is there anything else I can try, or am missing something here?

Thanks, CMM

Oh Dave the Pictures of the Broken Pulley are in my Picture Poster.

Make sure key way is correct.

did you put the pulley on backwards?

m4rty

Correct me if I'm wrong on that .

Probably... I remember having a similar issue... I can't recall what caused it though

Isn't there some sort of spacer that goes in between? 034 105 177?

Have you, somehow, messed with the crank-cam timing and you have a piston up against a valve or two?
