I torqued up my flywheel nut to 350 ft/lbs today. That was fun. NOT.
Yeah remember too if you had taken your counterweight off you have to torque that nut up to spec.. Where you gonna get a torque wrench that has a 500 ft/lb range?

The **** still won't come off. I used a torch too by the way.
I guess I'm going to have to rent a 3/4" impact wrench...supposedly that would be stronger.

A first gen with a Cosmo motor would be sexy. With the comso intake manifolds too, right?

I got it off!
Hit the bolt head on with a hammer a few times and used a cheater bar...it was like magic.
You all should check out my project thread (shameless plug) for pics and more info on how I'm doing.
