Use old bolt and torque on the Crankshaft balancer bolt to 240 lb ft.

Next, Install new bolt and first pass 37 lb ft.

Last pass tighten bolt 140 degrees.

I ordered an ARP Balancer bolt that should fix the issue. The only good thing to come out of all the work is I definately would not be scared to pull engine in the future if needed.

Hello,

Just a note to why the bolt may have broken. If oil was left on the bolt before it was installed a 240 ft/lb torque reading would actually be over 300 ft/lbs. Not sure if this happened in your case but always make sure you have the threads clean (I usually use carb cleaner or break cleaner).

Hopefully you can get a left handed drill bit in there and then pound the "square easy out" in and remove. I personally don't like the spiral easy outs.

Good Luck from Green Bay

AND, while you're there you might as well put a clutch bleeder kit in there.....

To burn out the bolt with typical EDM equipment (e.g.

glass slipper

I just went to a good hardware store and bought a three foot section of all-thread rod and a couple of nuts/washers...it cost all of $15 and worked like a charm.
