So I goofed up the first few threads on my crankshaft:(

[Browning]

While trying to get the harmonic balancer off with a puller, I managed to mess up the first few threads in the hole. The crank bolt will not thread itself now.

 

Am I screwed? What are some ways to get it to thread so I don't have to scrap this piece of shit car lol

chase it.....it its just the first few(thats why most good pullers have a crank saver washer in them) threads, you may have too grind them up some then run a chase thru it.

so tap it? As far as I know it's just the first 2-3. It appears so anyways

 

what do you mean grind them up and chase it? sorry lol

just run a tap down in it should fix you right up
