Ok.. so this timing belt thing is taking way toooooo long. I am ready to put on the crank pulley.. stripped the first bolt.. got a new one and a new corded impact.... seems i cant get this frigging pulley to go on. At this point my longer bolts appear to have messed up the thread on the inside of the crank thing. Am I screwed here? How big of a frigging impact do I need to make this thing get back on there? This one i got is rated at 220ft/lbs

Installing a crank pulley is a huge bitch. I had to do the oven trick to mine. Preheat to 350*, bake for 30 mins, put on crank snout and BFH away.

So what kind of hammer should I look to get?
I tried a board and a regular hammer.. didn't seem to budge. Sadly i got it on probably halfway the first time, but it seemed stuck so i pulled it off again and have yet to get it to the same spot again.
By hammering it should I be worried about messing up anything like the crank itself with the side impacts from a hammer? I am also thinking that I should be using some sort of rubber mallet?

You have to heat the pulley. Otherwise, it's more likely to fuck up the crank threads than get the pulley on.
Using a BFH on a cold pulley to drive it onto the crank is *stupid*.

I wait until the ambient temperature drops, so that the crank is as cool as possible. Then I place a bag of ice on the snout, and bake the pulley (aftermarket aluminum) on BROIL for half an hour. Slides right on. I usually don't need a BFH, nor do I like to subject the bearings to that kind of stress.

A can of spray air turned upside down works faster than a bag of ice.

Heat the sucker up in the oven, and it slides on like butter... just make sure you throw it on quick as it cools fast!
