280~Master Posted May 19, 2009 Share #14 Posted May 19, 2009 chris if you use the method I suggest you wont turn the engine. Thats why you use the side of the block and the clutch plate bolt holes. But if you are looking for a reason to get a new impact then this would be it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beandip Posted May 19, 2009 Share #15 Posted May 19, 2009 Just rotate the engine until #1 is coming up on compression stroke , both valves will be closed. Insert about 6'' or so of cotton rope in the spark plug hole, leave a tag end sticking out . Continue the rotation and the piston will stop on the compressed rope . Remove what bolts you need to . Remove the short rope and you are good to go. No harm no fowl. Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
five&dime Posted May 19, 2009 Share #16 Posted May 19, 2009 Thanks 73with76!!!280 master..... Sears often has their 250-350lb impact on sale for $30 and it's a craftsman!!! An impact is not a want it is a need with working on cars. If you want to go even cheaper, go to Harbor Freight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
