Harmonic balancer Install

Posted by Aaron Ford on April 11, 2007 at 20:29:52 from (72.84.46.159):

Ok guys, time to swallow the pride and fess up. I made a mistake. Not sure how or why, but I did and now I need some help. I installed the crank key and pulled the balancer on with the crank bolt (like you are not supposed to do).

When ran, the crank pulley wobbled. I retorqued the bolt and it had no effect. I then pulled the front end off and found the crank bolt only hand tight. The balancer also slid off easily. This is what I found.

I need to know what I did wrong that allowed the keyway to rotate as the balancer was installed and break the rear lip off of the balancer. It was a $100 dollar mistake and I cannot afford to make it again. Any ideas?

Thanks in Advance,

Aaron
