After a full week of trying to get this dang crank pully bolt out, I finally got it off! I feel like throwing a party and getting smashed...

I broke a couple of 1/2 inch extensions with my breaker bar and a cheater pole. I bought a 550 ft/lb impact gun and it still wasnt coming out. I decided to get medieval with the b@stard and heat it red hot with an acetalyne torch. It finally popped loose! I was almost ready to overhaul the engine and throw it into liquid hot magma.

Now that its off, I can see that my timing cover is all warped. You can see where the cam gears and the crank pully were scoring into it and were heating and warping it up.... I guess I'll have to get a new one.
