I need to lift my engine another inch or so, and I'm wondering if it's safe to jack it up by the harmonic balancer. My oil pan is (nearly) off, but I need a bit more clearance for the front of the pan to miss the main bearing cap. If there's a better place to jack, lemme know... but do tell me if it's ok to use the harmonic balancer for this.

 

DONT DO IT!!!! That's a lot of weight to support of the front of the crank nose. I really dont have an alternative except use an engine hoist if you have one.
