Thanks everyone for watching! What's your favorite method for installing a harmonic balancer?
@greggbarry41386 жыл бұрын
I replaced my front cover gasket on my 302 in my Mustang and I used the bolt to press the balancer back on. It went on fairly easily.

Knew a guy that tried to get the balancer on a sbc 283 with the balancer bolt and striped the threads he ended up haveing to pull the crankshaft and bring it in the shop to have us rethread it the cost was way more than just buying the tool. CastleVania....man that brings back memories Simon Belmont with the whip battleing monsters ah the Nintendo days,,good times!

@GJJC132 жыл бұрын
Great video. Perhaps a few dumb newbie questions: 1) when you put the new balancer on, will the "0" mark on this balancer exactly "meet" the Timing tab arrow mark? 2) If is does not align up, what should I do, because if I now find true TDC, will I have to mark it on the new balancer and therefore, "ruin" that neat "degrees ruler" on the new balancer? Thanks

Working on a big block I replaced my Harmonic balancer with a Summit Racing® Bracket Racer SFI, and when installing it when it seemed to be at the end, and then the tool backed it self out.
