I just recently replaced my accessory belt and had to remove my stock lower pulley. After changing the belt and re-installing the stock lower pulley i could not find a way to hold the converter and tighten the stock lower pulley. I tighten the pulley as much as i can (while also turning the engine) and tighten the tree bolts that are the housing on the stock lower pulley. I thought to myself wouldnt the engine itself over time tighten the stock lower pulley. I turned it on and it ran normal. What do you guys think?

 

Pulley will tighten with use...it's reverse threaded so it doesn't loosen with engine rotation.

 

thanks man thats what i thought.

 

LPF sells an inexpensive tool that locks your converter, easy install that locks the engine, and keep it from turning. (You cloud probably make your own it is just a steel bar with two holes in it)!
