Don't even worry about going slow, just do it right. Looks good I wish I had a parts washer. I get in trouble when my gf finds oil pans and valve covers in the dish washer.

Bought the wrong Tensioner pulley typed in a 3 instead of an 8 in the part number fml, it is alright though shipping it back and picking one up from NAPA along with a 12 pt 24 mm socket I need for the ARP crank bolt, didn't have that either.

Parts washer is amazing until you forget to read the mixture one day and dump only solvent in and completely remove all the paint inside the washer because you also forgot about it for a few years

Hold up kid... the ARP crank bolt is a 12pt 27mm socket the factory OEM bolt is 24mm. oops someone done caught that

For the GM crank bolt you can use a 15/16 SAE six point if you don't have a 24mm... just make sure it fits well as that bolt has a lot of tight on it.

Handy conversion chart

Thank you for the conversion chart, yeah I got the right socket now. I didn't even think about looking at the bolt I was like well factory is 24 so I assume ARP is as well.

Embarrassing to say the least
