Pfc. Parts

Hey Foz, sorry I missed the offer because I just finished a TB replacement on my '85 and I have a 4 post lift you could have used up in Boulder Creek that makes the job a bit easier.

I followed Dwayne's instructions and supplemented with John Pirtle's write up (http://members.rennlist.com/pirtle). Everything went well but I didn't seat the harmonic balancer correctly (the washers are directional) and spun the first pulley on start up. Luckily I had a spare but pay attention to the washer direction when re-assembling the crank pulley.

Hmmm, I pulled the pulley and harmonic balancer off (slid somewhat easily without a puller) and I don't recall any washers on there. I might have handed them all off to you and don't recall though.

Not sure which washers you are refering to - perhaps this. If you install the big "washer" on the crank bolt with the concave side facing forward instead of against the crank snout, the pulley will not be cinced down by the bolt and will not spin, likey damaging the pulley center hole. I made that mistake once and I include it in my timing belt warning guide (linked in an earlier post), along with other mistakes I have seen and/or made. Also, there are belt guideplates on either side of the crank pulley that must face the correct direction or the belt can get shredded.

Yep, that be the one. I didn't have the sage wisdom of your notes in hand unfortunately...

Ah, another one learned the hard way. I've done that many times.
