I would also take a micrometer to the front snout of the crankshaft to see if it was damaged. I see the balancer ID is severely worn. also put some blue loc-tite on the balancer bolt and torque it to 85 ft.lbs.

I was just thinking about that.....thanks for the advice I got the gasket today but I am gonna wait to put it back on untill i have the load spreaders.
