https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.for...8273c0438.jpeg Ok screwup number 2 Or 3 anyway I bought a balancer from summit not knowing its a universal thing I’m in stalling it after heating it up put some anti-seize on the crank lube the seal I can push it almost half way on I screw the bolt in and tighten it it goes on easy. Then the screw up I go to unscrew the bolt and I can get a 1/4 turn and it stops I go back to tighten and the washer doesn’t even get tight. Back and forth I go, any good any ideas I think the bolt bottomed and damaged the threads but not sure. Summit help doesn’t have any thing he said the bolt is probably softer than the crank but? And no I didn’t use an impact |
The bolt is a grade 8, it's definitely harder than the crank. That doesn't look like any of the damper bolts I've had. So you may have one that's too long

If you don't have the flex plate on, take a piece of straight metal & drill a pair of holes to go across the crank.
Bolt it down with a pair of flex plate bolts Then you can hold it still to get the crank bolt out. Then rent a balancer installer. |
Ok in the pic near the chain you can see the pink end of the balancer needs about 3/16 more in I measured the oem balancer it’s 3 1/4 long I measured the summit balancer it’s 3” long I have about 5/16-3/8” between the balancer and the timing cover so it’s close as for the bolt I’m pretty sure that I bottomed it and damaged the threads I’ve been heating and spray PB on it and working it it’s had about a 1/4 turn all along hopefully I’ll work it out or should I just get an impact and get going https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.for...7f952cc9e.jpeg |
back at this after a week off :-banghead I have busted the budget and had to find a crank or rethread it, machine shop sold me a rebuilt crank that was never picked up by the owner came with bearings so on word and up word
|
That's a bummer but glad your back on track. Are you going to use an install tool this time? Or just some anti-seize and a bolt that is not too long?
|
That hurts. Threads in the crank stripped, right? And you've got a replacement from your machine shop?
|
Yes it was cheaper use the old one but more time he took the old one and gave me a deal. Machine shop let me use their install tool when the balancer is hot it goes on easy I think the bolt galled but I can’t be sure it wasn’t that the bolt bottomed I measured after I got it out |
