Hi everyone,
I was changing the flywheel on a 5.7 truck engine that I am converting into a marine engine and when I was torquing the flywheel bolts, my torque wrench did not "click" at the 75ft lbs torque setting for the #2 flywheel bolt.
The bolt now free-spins in that bolt hole. Not good.
What are my options? Do I need to pull the crank out or is there a more time and cost-effective way to resolve this issue?
I'm really annoyed as it wasn't something that I did specifically. All the other bolts torqued to spec perfectly so I'm not sure WTH happened to the torque wrench on that bolt.
Any input is appreciated.
