Im putting my block back togather and it says i have to torque the crank in this order 25p , 90p, then 0p then 25p then turn 90 degreees but my question is there a tool so i dont have to guess the 90 degrees or should i just torque the bitch down to 90 lol and call it a day ?

 

There are several instruments made for this purpose (I believe this is the most widely used style):

i dont have any tool like that. do u think i could get by if i try guessing 90 degree turn ?

 

I "guess" you could... but why try to "get by" when you could BUY that tool for $10, or probably RENT it from your local auto parts store, or even BORROW one from somebody.

I just rebuilt a Toyota V6 a couple weeks ago.. it says in the FSM to use the angle tool to do several 90 turns... so I followed the FSM...

The Z32 isn't a car I would ever skimp on, or take the easy / cheap way out. I'm sure ZLover has some expert advice on the matter...

 

You asked if there is a tool and there is one. You can generally get by without it if this isn't a performance build (I didn't even use one for either of my 550bhp builds), but if you're going for high horsepower and reliability, get the tool.

Btw, me cutting corners (like this) is no reason for anyone else to do the same. I simply didn't deem it necessary for my own build. I'm an advocate of following instructions (I simply find other ways only when time or money are short and doing so will cause considerable drawbacks for me, overall).

 

ok thanks for the advice ill call some parts stores around me. they may have it. and if i cant find it ill try without. Im just rebuilding the motor, bearings were bad im not adding any horsepower to my n/a motor.
