Got home Friday night, and got some time to work on the car this weekend. I started to clean the remains of the tarpaper soundproofing or whatever it was off of the inside of the roof, so that I can reprime it. Then I can run the new wires through the roof edges. Most of the wires for the rear of the car run along the drivers side roof edge, there are some door switch wires that go on the pax side.
I'm also trying to finish the engine part of the project. Today I finished wire brushing the head (all of those nuts are a pain) and the rear of the engine, bellhousing area. A bit of reaching with a little stainless brush for some of the bellhousing behind the engine, but I managed to get it presentable for paint.
I started to put on the harmonic balancer pulley, but it doesn't seat all the way - see the picture. I tried pulling it down with the bolt and washer but it only goes so far, and doesn't get flush with the end to the shaft. So I have to get some bolts that fit the pulley, 7/16 fine thread which did not come with my puller set. When I disassembled it originally I just used a regular gear puller, but now I don't want to muck up the paint so I will do it right. Anyone have an idea what I'm doing wrong? There is just the timing gear, then the seal carrier, and then this pulley. I greased the inside of the cork seal prior to trying the pulley, so it shouldn't be hanging up on that?
