Is everybody using a stock crank pulley with an ARP bolt. Then I can see why, but my opinion if your using an aftermarket crank I just can't see why. But to each is owe. Not tell anybody whT to do just giving my experience.

I used the summit pulley puller and install alignment tool worked out great even pinned the crank while I was down there ! You torque must tighten with old factory bolt to 200-210 I did a 185-190 ish! back it out then and your pulley in now placed and or seated properly, put in your ARP or whichever bolt re torque to spec ! Then would be the time to have a look at your timing and or cam swaps oil pumps ,water pump and or seals as well ! New ac belt might wanna keep that in mind gotta have the a/c working top notch.

I torqued ARP to 150 with pinned crank... I think if pinned the high torque is not needed. Many thrashings later on track, balancer has not moved.

I pinned mine, too, however, since the ARP instructions say to torque their bolt to 240 lbs/ft, that's what I did............
