hi mbdoc
today i loosened the bolt on the crankshaft pulley after a lot of engineering.
A torque of around 600 ft/lb. or more, was needed!! Is this normal?
Anyway i am wondering if there is anything i should be looking out for apart from the wobbly pulley at 150000km.
Should i be changing diff/ trans oils at this stage.
Motor runs smooth as. don' t know when plugs were last changed. I tried to undo one to have alook and seemed gauled is this common?
Is it ok to use regular ulp fuel or is premium a must.
also SRS light comes & goes at bump is this serious?. I don't want to driving ang air bag goes off!
In general it drives smooth with no noise to speak of apart from the pulley.

Yours gratefully
michaelad
