Default Tools Needed.......buy/borrow

My engine sits in my kitchen, the wife is not happy. Looking to buy or borrow the alignment tools for the oil pan and seals and the installation tool for the under drive pulley.

Posted before and someone offered to send it but I think they got busy traveling for work related issues, no worries there at all. So if someone can help me out I would be very appreciative. I'll gladly pay shipping both ways.

alignment tool # J 41480 and J 41476

the pulley tool is a custom made one.

thanks for any help

Hi Brad,
That was me and I shipped the tools to the address you supplied. Did you receive them? I don't have J41476, but I did ship J41480.

Brad,

I don't have that one either but I have had some pretty good luck on fleabay. There is one vendor there who deals in Kent Moore tools and is pretty reasonable on prices. He is located in Michigan. If he is not listing it now, he may be able to get it for you and hopefully cheaper.

Just make the pulley installationi tool. Call McMaster Carr. You will need the following:

M16-2 threaded rod 300mm long
bag of 16mm "fender" washers
Bag of M16-2 hex nuts

You really only need 3 or 4 hex nuts but they are cheaper by the bag. I ordered mine over the internet; they showed up the next day for a grand total of $ 27.00 including tax and shipping!
