Honda Civic - First start gone wrong!

I am such an idiot!
I was cranking it by hand to put it at TDC to check my timing then my mom was all like HEY TACOS ARE DONE! so i was like FLUCK YEAH TACOS!

then i came back for the cars first start after an engine swap and I totally forgot I left the ratchet there... :(

and yes i know the alternator belt squeals like a mofo

So when you went to start it did it knock your crank pulley bolt loose as well?

@CrimsonxJackal no, I wish, I still have that block, that bitch is on there tighter than ever, I have a brand new timing kit on there i still need to get off.

@cavelier23 glad you got it all worked out.

I had to get completely new pulleys, the ones i had were worn down, and kept doing a total hack job on my belts. I also had to get a new harmonic balancer

@cavelier23 look into it and tell me what you find out.

@pen1510ve You may be right, we used belt dressing to temporarily fix it, but it still squeaks when you accelerate. You're probably right about the bearing

[pen1510ve]

@cavelier23 i believe there is a grease you can use as well. also it could be a bearing that squeaks

@pen1510ve I replace my belts all the time, my car just doesn't like em' haha. Thanks
