    ARP makes a longer bolt and its resuable. its like 28 bucks. to soem its not worht hte money but was for me.

    i would never apply heat to the crank snout but this is me. Longer bolt does help get the pulley on. Some have stripped the first couple threads out of crank by trying to pull it on with the stock bolt.

    I used a GM tool kit once for the GenIII motors and it came with a long bolt tool to get the pulley seated.

    it ain't that I'm too big to listen to the rumors, It's just that I'm too damn big to pay attention to 'em..That's the difference

    you heat the pulley, not the snout.

    so you want to apply heat to an object that has rubber in it? just so you can get it to go on? theres other ways of doing this. Also heres is greg's quote. he clearly says snout

    either way you wont catch me applying heat to my setup. 28 bucks longer bolt and have no issues at all

    I'm well away of the ways to get it done, I was just saying that you would generally heat the pulley and then it slides over the snout easier.

    I've always used the longer bolt method.

    FWIW, you apply heat to your pulley every time you start the engine. You're not putting 1000* of heat to it, just 300-400. The rubber holds up just fine and if you do it quickly the crank cools it down quickly by contact.

    He lost the snap ring off the end of his somehow. I have the same pulley with no issue.

    i found that using the longer bolt was much easier. you can find a longer crank bolt at the dealership. just ask for a z06 bolt it like a inch longer, much cheeper then ARP bolt.
