Anyone know the size
Anyone know the size of the bolt on the crankshaft. When I changed my timing belt I recall not having the right size ratchet, and now that I am lining up to adjust my valves, I want to make sure I have the right one (to rotate the engine to TDC), before I jack it up and start.
Thanks. |

Size doesn't matter! It's staying power that matters! Speaking about the E30 of course. . . .

I've got an auto... does that preclude the tire adjust... (sorry Jarred I think I hit you on this one on an email... still haven't done the job)

Sorry I think that is what you said the first time, which is why I then focused on the crank... trying to do 10 things at once, and not having time to complete any is not the way to go...
I should make a list. |
