Locking the Engine with the Flywheel access hole


Recommended Posts

Just pull the timing check plug out and use a flat bladed screwdriver. Slide it between the bell housing and the torque mount bar, so the blade is between two teeth on the ring gear. To retorque, just put the screwdrive on the other side of the timing check hole with the blade between two teeth on that side. Works fine.

Anyone ever use the little hole on the back of the engine to hold the engine still while removing the crank pulley nut?

I have.

 

If so how well did it work?

It stopped the engine from turning. ...and in BOTH directions I might add!

 

What exactly did you stick in there?

Some screwdriver-looking thingy I had laying around.

 

Just search around for something with the length and strength, then gingerly wedge it in there.
