Is it broke off? Or just haven't attempted yet?

They are freakin TIGHT!!!! I had a 24" ratchet and a pipe as an extension to get the damn thing off, holy crap was it tight. Waiting to torque it back in til I get it in the truck. No way I could do it on the engine stand. They are 240 lb ft with the old bolt, then 37 lb ft + 140 degrees with the new bolt, I just did one on a 6.0L, maxed out my snap on tech angle, final reading was 275 lb ft.

hate to say it BUT either way you go youre gonna need a tranny if you have the 4l60e and its stock, it may last awhile but it wont last long reason being youre gonna luv the new found power and not beable to keep your dang foot out of it

Lol well i just pulled the trigger on a used

tsp 224/224xe cam for 275 shipped

yea im gonna have to take it light on the trans until i can get a good 65 or 80e

Nah the crank bolt isnt broke lol just too tight for me alone. but also the motor is on the stand. not sure how im gonna get it in the truck and pull it off and still do cam swap i was hoping to have the motor ready to drop in. since its my daily.

My buddies managed to get the pulley off on a stand so im gonna take it and my parts over there to work on it.

Cut a 2x4 long enough to support the engine and keep it from twisting while you torque on the bolt.
