WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE SAND FILLED HAMMER BREAKS AND ALL THE SAND GOES INTO THE ENGINE?DON'T BE AFRAID TO BUY A CRANK SOCKET.IF YOU ARE GOING TO BUILD MORE ENGINES IN THE FUTURE THIS WOULD BE A NICE TOOL TO HAVE.THEY ALSO MAKE A TOOL THE BOLTS TO THE FRONT OF YOUR BALANCER TO HELP ROTATE THE ENGINE.
