I know it is not the right place but the case is being replaced as we speak from the dreaded dowel pin that found home outside the timing case.... See you in a few hours!! Or days!!

Oh NO! What is a timing case?

It will be days...... The case is behind the cover and mounts the injection pump and power steering/ brake pump. Trying to figure a good way to pull 2 gears without damage................................
One (Cam) will need a 3 leg puller. Someone said use a torch to heat!!!

So still looking at options.

I think I just need the puller for the cam gear. No torch is going there.
The pump gear had two threaded holes for a puller and I got the best grade METRIC bolts the store had at 8.8...

Deer/Bear hunting sucked today by the way!!! Surprised

Is the 12.2 ? grade 8? Been so long I forget. I am in no hurry at this point ! Evil or Very Mad

My neighbors probably think I am a tweeker!! Laughing

I do have the Willys in a Shelter Logic on top of the the 1500 square feet of NEW concrete that was poured 2 weeks ago..

I always thought 12.9's were equivalent to grade 8. I tried looking it up and it appears that some say 10.9 is, some say 12.9 so who knows. Most of the time if you get any socket head cap screw, they will be 12.9. You need some black marks on that fresh concrete Laughing

got the bolt info from McMasterCarr. i dont really know what the 12.9 is supposed to be. some special alloy, i assume. like specialty fasteners for head bolts and harmonic balancers.

Nitrous Adam, lots of nitrous.

I have a book that came with my Matco torque wrench named Tips on Torque. It has all types listed in 3 charts. I use it quite often when I am working on a car without the service manual for bolts that I need a torque spec for. Here is what it says

US Standard
Grade S.A.E
1&2 64000psi
5 105000psi
6 133000psi
8 150000psi

Whitworth Standard
Marked bolt head
A&B 62720psi
S 112000psi
T 123200psi
V 145600psi

Metric Standard
5D 71160psi
8G 113800psi
10k 142000psi
12k 170674psi

So looking at it 10k is slightly less than grade 8 but better than 6 and 12k is better than grade8.

Simple huh?
