Nice update! But I STRONGLY advise against using a bolt to "pull" on the dampener. That's a good way to strip the threads out of the crank. You can get a tool for $20 on ebay that will do the job safely. Also, I've heard of tons of people having issues using the ARP crank bolt but have never seen a problem with a OEM GM one.

i hope you pay ryan well, it wouldn't be good to lose him....
