Stupid question
Hey there just getting ready to replace harmonic balancer on my 460 Ford(1971) and trying to remember if to loosen the bolt you go clockwise(which I think) or counterclockwise like all other bolts?
Thanks, and sorry for the brain fart!"

Seems to me that the heads on left handed bolts have a marking of some kind.
Any ideas on that Dave? I may be have a brain toot here..

You might be thinking of the old MoPar lug bolts, they were marked left and right??? The only thing I have left handed hardware on now is a couple of air grinders that are reversible...no markings on them.Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

No markings that I know of on leftie thread bolts.
Last one I ran into, was on an Indian motorcycle. The compensatory sprocket , and it torques down to 80 ft-lb.
Education is expensive. Keep that in mind, and you'll never be terribly upset when a project goes awry.

Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.
