Re: beaterX project thread

Your impact gun might suck, but your starter motor doesn't. Put the your breaker bar on the crank pulley, make sure it won't hit anything weak, then bump the starter. Enough of this uncreativeness!

Lol the wiring harness is already all unhooked otherwise I would have done that . I'll prolly try and hook a few things back up and give that a try. Ugh lots of things I guess.

Re: beaterX project thread

Just take it one step at a time scheides. Rent a car for now with the money you are saving on putting cheaper insurance on the car while its down. Take your time with the build, you dont want to rush anything either.

As far as the crank pulley, use a longer breaker bar. Impacts usually dont budge them unless you have a really strong one.

Re: beaterX project thread

With GSC cams on back-order and springs not available for at least a month why no go the Kelford route for cams/springs? I haven't been following X cams real closely, but I know Cobb favors the Kelford stuff on the X over others.

Re: beaterX project thread

Kelfords would be my second choice, but the GSC s2's are pretty sweet.

Ya dood. Thanks but its just 1-2 steps at a time as I can only fit in a few minutes here and there to work on it. Thursday night I think I will be ready for a hand if you wanna swing over.

Ya, the motor just spins over. If I put it in gear and have someone hold the brakes will it hold the crank in place? I think that's my next step otherwise I'm gonna have to hook up a bunch of sh1t and prolly spray gas everywhere while I try and crank it over. Fuel rail and injectors are all fully disassembled.



Sorry for the emo post guys, just sucked to end the night on a bolt that I couldn't get free, and someone made fun of me on the internet

Re: beaterX project thread

crappy man. I'm pretty amazed that alot of the stuff you need is backordered. Hopefully it goes smoothly for you man. Guess there will be lots of time and energy spent in your garage this winter. good luck man.

I'm wondering if it's really the gun, or if the tank can't withstand high enough pressures to get it loose. I see that issue more often than not with customers at work. What's factory torque spec?

Re: beaterX project thread

Its probably the PSI, it really needs to be up there to be able to take a crank pulley off.

In gear and on brakes should work, otherwise you will have to hold the engine from rotating some other way.

^This. I'll just try the foot-on-brakes method and a long ass breaker bar, otherwise I'll figure out how to turn the starter over w/o too much hassle.

Re: beaterX project thread

You wouldn't HAVE to hook things back up to turn the starter over. You can google bench testing a starter, kinda crude but it might do the trick if you don't want to hook everything back up.

That will work until the center diff begins to slip.
