Default Re: Changing Timing and Crank Gear

Picture showing how I pushed the crank gear onto the crankshaft. I heated the gear up with a Bernz O Matic torch using map gas. I held onto the gear with channel locks. The gear slid on quite ways with just hand pushing it. I used part of a 2 piece pulley and the old crank gear. I finished tighten it up with the impact gun. I have read about tighten down the timing gear nut from 60 to 100 foot pounds. It seems like a 100 would be way overkill as 60 sounds better. I was thinking just snugging it up with a impact gun on low setting. Would that be a bad idea. Thanks for all the input.
