I did not ever get the crank pully entirely off, I just found a way around it. Was that a serious suggestion to put it in gear(it is a manual)? I tried that and the car rolled with the turning of the crank.

It seems to be popular opinion that I have damaged my vaulves by turning it over. How would i go about repairing that?

THANKS SO MUCH FOR ALL THIS HELP
I assumed you had the motor out of the car, sorry. Put the car in 5th gear and stomp on the brake. This will stop the engine from moving and you'll be able to remove the Main crank pulley. (2 person job)

If your valves are damage you'll have to take the heads off and bring them to a head shop for TLC.


Good Luck!
