Ive got the m16x2 tap that you need for the crank if you want to try and just chase the threads and clean em up a bit.

I had to get one because my ARP crank bolt wouldnt thread into any of the 4 cranks I had sitting in my garage. Once I chased the threads with one pass it threaded in perfect. Some people have good luck with the ARP crank bolt and others such as myself dont lol. Yeah I can throw it in the mail and just pick it up from you whenever everyone goes to Coreys, Im not going to need it again any time soon.

I use a 120mm long bolt to engage more of the crnak threads to start pulling the pulley on then swap to the bolt so I dont chance pulling the threads. Also Ive never had a problem in a 30ish times Ive put crank pulleys on with just heating the center section, maybe its just the technique? The oven does work better but Im impatient

thanks, cam sounds close to my 224, but way more aggressive with the cutout open! You can hear the compression pop like yours does. SOTP feel is very nice, even untooned. Still want one on a 110 lsa, but the 112 is better for the juice, and I am an addict now, lol.
