I am replacing my timing cover. Do I need a puller to get the harmonic balancer off and do i need to get one of those presses to get it back on, or can I use a BFH to get it on again?

you will need a puller to get it off, i installed mine wihtou one. just put a little oil on the snout, line up the balencer and tap it on with a hammer, using a block of wood on the face of the balencer. just need to tap it on enough to get the bolt started, then use the bolt to crank it down.http://secondhandracing.com/Home.aspx

Exactly how I did mine and every GM one I ever had to install. Just don't use an impact gun or you risk stripping the threads out of the end of the crank. Also a good idea to take some emery cloth or scotchbrite or whatever and clean up the end of the crank and the inside of the balancer. While its open, if you weren't planning on doing it, I would suggest changing the timing chain.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).

exactly what I'm doing, my timing cover is leaking and I have an HO cam in my garage, so I am doing the cam swap along with new gaskets and a new timing chain.

If you didn't use a pipe on the end of your breaker bar, you weren't trying hard enough........Originally posted by 89LincolnTWNcar

Isnt there a way you can brace the breaker bar on the frame and bump the motor over???
I tried to do this on my '77... too bad when I did, the engine cranked but the harmonic balancer didnt turn
it wasnt a timing chain problem after all... crankshaft had snapped.
Whoever said 5.0's could run for years and not knock with a spun bearing was right... I got 3 more years out of it after running it dry of oil... and I want exactly easy on it either.Pete ::::>>> resident LED addict and CFI defector LED bulb replacements

You can not run for a few seconds with a spun bearing without a knock. You may have taken life out of your motor, but you did not run it with a spun bearing.Originally posted by 85crownHPP*Comment

hhmmm... well maybe it just took 3 years for it to let go
Im just glad it did whatever it did, and I didnt seize up the motor. I might not have the same passion for full size fords I do now if it didnt. If the 77 had died before I started tinkering with it, who know what i would be driving now!Pete ::::>>> resident LED addict and CFI defector LED bulb replacements

No you just loosen the rocker arms and rotate them away, pull the pusrods and lifters and yank the old cam outOriginally posted by Freshmeat

You do have to yank the intake to get the lifters out but the heads can stay on.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).

I just bought $361 worth of a Craftsman air compressor, a 500 ft/lb 1/2" impact wrench, and a set of impact bits to get out this stupid crank bolt. The crank bolt will lose this time......... :chainsaw: OH and BTW I tried a 340ft/lb electric impact and it didn't do a thing
