Today we show you how to remove and install a harmonic balancer. This video will apply to just about any engine as most harmonic balancers are tightly fitted to a crank snout and attached with one bolt in the center and they will all have a key way. We show you how to pull off a balancer and in this case we created our own tool to install the balancer with some automotive grade all thread rod and three nuts and a washer.

that you for making this video i was having problems getting mine back on, because the instal kit that i rented wouldn't work haha.... but your video should make it work thanks i appreciate it

Jeff Fuehr No problem! Sometimes things can be tricky that's why I like to put these videos on so it can help people out. Thanks.

this procedure is different than anything I have ever done.. One I don't preheat it, second you should but a small amount of silicone in the keyway slot.. Also that blue packet that came with the ARP bolt is not thread locker.. is moly lube so that you get a true torque spec.

@@yeudsiegal5285 the crank has a keyway and the balancer has a cut out for that keyway.. so as long as it's the correct balancer for that engine, it should go on with no issues.. and the bolt is torqued to 120ft-lbs

@OvensGarage 4 жыл бұрын

It has a key-way so it can only be installed in one location.

@jefffuehr366 7 жыл бұрын

the correct torque for that has to be more than 90 ft pounds because some of the bolts around the front brakes are 90, and they're only 1/4 of the size of the balancer bolt

@Erklzanderz 5 жыл бұрын

Bolt size means nothing on torque specs. There are many variables such as material composition, gasket material, thread pitch etc... When in dount look up the torque specs and dont base it upon what you "think" it should be regardless of size.

If heated, yes. A slight bit of motor oil on the snout and some RTV on the keyways is the correct way to do it

When you rip the threads out of your crank snout from pulling in on with only 2/3 threads biting come back and tell me why you shouldn't do that.

@Erklzanderz 5 жыл бұрын

@@OGskunkMASTA if you can get 2/3 of the thread engaged before tightening then you would not strip any threads. The reason is that in many applications the bolt is not long enough to reach any threads before it is pressed on so you simply cant press it with the stock bolt. If you can get a bolt that is 1" longer and the same thread pitch then you can use that to tighten it until it bottoms out then use washers to take up any slack and tighten again before installing the original crank bolt.

@OGskunkMASTA 5 жыл бұрын

@@Erklzanderz Or, have all the threats biting from a install kit you can rent for free or get a nice install/removal kit for $75-85. Not worth a chance because the bolt is harder than the crank threads and too much stress and you're yanking the nice engine you built or pulling your stock engine right out for a rebuild at that point. Not worth it.

@Erklzanderz 5 жыл бұрын

@@OGskunkMASTA if you are going to be doing this type of thing on a regular basis then I agree, but for the average DIY guy that is watching a video like this, then the method I mentioned earlier is absolutely efficient. The crank is heat treated and hardened steel so the threads are plenty strong. We are not talking about cast aluminum here that will strip out by just thinking about tightening it. To each his own but my original statement stands as a fact that if you have 2/3 of your bolt threads engaged then crank it down because the only way you would strip the crank threads (which worst case scenario, could even be retapped instead of pulling the crank) is if you dont have the keyway aligned and just keep reefing on it like an idiot. In that case you probably shouldnt be working on any motor let alone a race engine. But, If you have access to a puller and installer tool, and they happen to have the right pitch hardware, then that is definitely the fool proof way to go! Cheers bud

No, you have to get the right balance for your engine if it's a 50 or 20 ounce balance crank. Without the right one your engine will shake to high hell and damage Alot in the process. Hope you got the right one.

It’s just a big thick washer. You can probably get one at Home Depot or any hardware store. I just used a washer so the large nut wouldn’t tear up the balancer.
