After I put my piston in I was trying to turn my crank counter clockwise to align the "T". Ended up the bolt head that I was turning broke free. I check the honda manual and it said this should have be torque to 90 some foot pounds. Has anyone had this happen? Dose some know where you can buy the flywheel strap so I can tighten that bolt back down?

take a penny and put it in the teeth on the gear behind hte flywheel and turn untill it pinches the penny(or dime) into place it wont move while you are tightening it

penny is copper, the teeth are steel.. lol the penny will bend before you will ever come close to breaking the teeth. an old mechanic taught me the trick.. lol

Thanks the penny works and yes the penny did bend but as far as I could tell there where no shavings off of it.:D

Appreciate the help.
