Re: Harmonic Balancer Problem

Tighten all bolts on timing cover, there are dowels that keep the timing cover aligned.

Put a dab of RTV in the key slot of your new harmonic balancer to prevent oil seepage.

Lube the OD of harmonic balancer snout where seal rides, I use Lubriplate 105 motor assembly lube but, a light smear of grease will do just fine.

Install balancer ALL THE WAY until it bottoms out on timing crank gear. If you have belt misalignment like this, you have the wrong balancer or the wrong pulleys/brackets.

When installed, mount your crank pulley and torque center crank bolt to 60-65 ft/lbs

Good luck!
