hey everyone, i currently have a 89 supra turbo - that can not be driven now !:mad:

i was driving down I-95 when i heard a knocking noise from my car, and i knew what the problem was instantly cause it happened already...

A bolt shaped like a huge ( baby passifyer or ring pop ) came loose from one of my pulleys - it was hitting my fan making the sound...

plus my car will start, but the belt does not move at all...

anything like this happen to anyone else ???

do you know which pulley? can you take a picture of it?
just to be safe, dont drive the car till you can get it figured out... i'm sure with a photo you can get some answers.

holy jeepers batman!

that's your crank bolt. Its loose b/c you probably don't know what you're doing. It takes 205ft-lbs of torque. You best make sure you didn't screw anything up with the crank as it can cause irreparable damage
