Is it your stock crank pulley. What did you do to tighten it?

OK. I put a wrech on the pulley bolt like if i was gonna tichten it now i was able to tighten to a certain point till it moved. so most people say SLAM YOUR BRAKES...or STICK A SCREDRIVE....me i simple let the wrech with the metal piece of the wrench by the wheel axle and cranked the motor and that tighten it.

Let me see if I got this right...you put a wrench on the crank bolt and then cranked the engine to tighten it? Are you out of your mind?!?!?!?

You probably bent the crankshaft. Is oil pouring out the front seal too?

drop out the driverside motor mount. let driverside hang down a bit, supported by a jack.

have a friend torque one way with a breaker bar and you tighten it with your torque wrench to 133lbs.

works every time.

a $20 chain wrnech from your local parts store will do the trick.

I cant belive you dident snap the bolt doing that, that is the worst idea I have ever heard of to be honest.

Get the correct tool to hold the pully in place its called a harmonic dampner pully holder thingie (everyone calls it something else but it holds that pully). Now tighten it down to spec but I would take it off to make sure you dident mess something up like Im sure you did if its wobbling. I mean if its not tight even it should wobble unless something is bent somewhere or messed up all it will do if its lose will slide back and forth but it should NEVER wobble.

Don't ever do this ever again. All you need is a big chain wrench and friend to hold while you tighten it.

Oh and Im def never gonna buy a car from you.
