A Very Good "How To Video" which is lacking a lot in the car video section of KZfaq. Thank You for Making this for Us

Great content John. I know you are helping people with these professional tips. Take care, Ed.

Amazing keep up the good work. I like that you put the prybar as leverage on the bolts, never thought of that idea. Thanks man and keep the video's going.

Thank you so much. I have done this so many times and always refresh myself on the steps you nailed it 💯 percent love to keep myself in line with the steps

Good video, I used to do the hammer method until I messed up a few things. Now I use this method!! 👍👊

This comes out literally a day after I beat mine on with a hammer 😂

Awesome vid bud ,I did that hammer thing back in the day had no special tool thankfully it worked didn’t leak or hurt anything 👍🏼

Thank you Sir! And no annoying music. Your Chauffeur, J Bruce, Hollywood North. ( Vancouver, BC. )🇨🇦

A1 job! You do know that you have balancers that have offset weight added on and they do add the correct balance weight for that particular engine combo....and the pressing point is very important to check size making sure it will not damage the threads on crank nose.... The kit I have has been put together through years of working on all kinds of engines so I have many different sizes of pressing points to fit a variety of crank nose diameters. The use of a dedicated balancer installer is a must so you do not risk damage the the crank thrust bearing especially on a fresh rebuild. Hammer need not apply for this job😂

I always put a little ultra gray silicone in the balancer groove for a little extra insurance

Excellent video my friend, congratulations 👏

Great work and video! Just did one on my wife’s mustang 👍🏻as. Always!!!

Great video! Thanks🏁

Appreciate the easy strught to the point actual visual step by step peace by peace thank u

Awesome job 👏

Just helped me find timing issue. My balancer has slipped and is about 45* off from keyway. Thank you so much.

Top tier video !! Thankyou

Best video. Thank you

Great video

Good job 👍👍

good job as always

They are balancers as well as dampeners, just depends on internal or external. For example a 71 440 with a forged crank is internally balanced and would have a balancer that is neutral, but my 74 440 with a cast crank is externally balanced which means my balancer is indeed balancing the engine. If I used a the 74 balancer on the 71, or the 71 balancer on the 74, there would be major problems from being out of balance.

I'll be doing this soon! Hey, can you cover heater box, A/C unit, and other dash accessories? I'd be nice to talk about all that stuff while you're in a major tear down.. Just a thought Love your stuff!

The original Chevy factory service manual called the harmonic balancer a "torsional damper", which more accurately described its function. I wonder when--and why--the term changed.

Now that's how you make a KZfaq Video! Thank You Sir

Great video ! Finally gave in and turned on notifications! Missed this video the newest one and it’s pissin me off ! Lol. Wish I could pick the channels I want to be notified about. Not all of them. Oh well. Take care John

Can you make a video how to extract the crank pulley? What tools?

Your thumbnail had me thinking you were using my tools and technique!

Question do you know if a 76 nova 7.5 limited carrier will fit into a 71 Acadian 8.2 rear end just the carrier and will my 3.08 gears from the 71 work on it ?

Great Video. I enjoy watching all of your videos. There is so much for me to learn. Do you know why balancers are of different thicknesses? The one that is on my 307 is 1 1/2" thick. I just picked up a 305 and the balancer is 1 5/8" thick. Thanks for sharing.🍁👍👍

I had Chevy. Hipo. Balancer come off after 30 years it had a after market bolt kit it was safety wired loctite and key did not shear. Keyway did crack ?

🥝✔️👍👋🤜💩🤛Nice to see your channel. We've conversed on the NNN and UTG and Richard Holdener lives a few times, it's great to see your excellent work. I use a modified Toyota Racing Department flat pry bar and your puller with a custom cut down removal spigot. On my engine swaps, there is no room to remove the balancer because the radiator or MacPherson strut gets in the way. The Malibu LS balancer removal is one of Detroits worst inventions.

Do you have to drill holes to install pins?

Need to know how to put it back on a 1992izuz pick up truck

Needed a splooge of silicon on the inside of the, keyway, on the inside of the balancer.

I have a 1960 348 without a threaded crank. Is a hammer the only way?

First. Lol glad you're making more videos! Keep them coming buddy.

How much to tighten harmonic balancer on 305 v8?

1992 izuz pick up truck how to put it on

Hi. I have a small oil leak coming from a Chevy 4.3L coming from behind the harmonic balancer area. My mechanic just installed a new timing cover. He told me that he failed to use some RTV on the keyway on the balancer shaft and that's why it is slinging oil. Does this sound correct? You don't show any RTV being used on your install. Thanks.

So, don't use any AntiSeize?

I'm going to look for your in car, timing gear replacement video. I have a friend with a 1980 3.8 V6. I can rotate the dampener 5 or 6 degrees before the distributor rotor starts moving. I be thinking some of the nylon teeth came off. It backfires and won't start. New cap and rotor, it's got fuel. He said he had the pedal to the metal just trying to make it home.

Gracias por tus vídeos

How do you install, if my crankshaft doesn't have threads? Im working with a 1961 Chevy 283

it would be interesting to know how many people actually use a hammer to install the balancer

I tried that with my oldsmobile, and it wouldn't install. it is stuck for some reason.

Had do you know the balancer is all the way back down?

On my 350 l98 the timing mark slipped. Do you line up the timing mark with the keyway when installing?

Any suggestions for a good fuel pump any eldebrock ? For the 74 nova

What if you don't have a theaded crank?

I don’t have a bolt on my crank shaft. There’s not thread to put a bolt…. It’s hammer time?

I’m buying it i have your money in my pocket

John Hi

Thanks foe positivity vid

That hammer was obviously not the correct tool. it wasn't nearly big enough.
