A few questions:
1) Harmonic Balancer bolt spacer: Is this supposed to fit "in" the hole (there's a countersink)? If I used the bolt that came as a set, it would be too long. Plus the head was long. Those two stacked stick out the front of the car ~ .635". I know there is little space between the firewall and the front of the engine. It should be fine if it is positioned above the shelf where there is more space in the center but I think it is below. Attached image(s)

My balancer is also very close to the timing cover (Erson gear drive). In fact I had to machine a small grove in the back of the balancer to clear a allen head screw holding on a plate for the idler gear. Has to be that close for the belts to be straight.
BTW I put on a brand new balancer because the old one was wobbling and the new one wobbles too. How are yours? Run straight and smooth?? |
