Xany Posted March 30, 2004 Author Report Posted March 30, 2004 yes my 5K had a harmonic balancer.....currently getting reconditioned...should have it back tomorrow..... Quote
Super Jamie Posted March 30, 2004 Report Posted March 30, 2004 you mean an actual balancer with a counterweight and rubber and everything? sure it's not just the crank pulley? i would have thought if the rotating assembly is balanced it shouldn't need a harmonic balancer? not on a 4 cylinder anyway Quote
Xany Posted March 31, 2004 Author Report Posted March 31, 2004 you mean an actual balancer with a counterweight and rubber and everything? yes.....this is a spare one that i got with the other block....the other one i got sent down to NSW has the second pulley for the air con.... Also this page confirms it..... Precision Parts search for a 5k engine on that page... theres only 2 on there man this weekend is gunna ROCK!!!! :D :P Quote
irokin Posted March 31, 2004 Report Posted March 31, 2004 must have something to do with the larger piston weights or something..... Quote
Xany Posted April 4, 2004 Author Report Posted April 4, 2004 G'day fellas......time to update the old 5k build up...... today we started the rebuild at around 3 pm with this after slogging it out over a couple of beers and about 6 hours (we weren't hurrying), we came out with something that looks like this.... quite nice looking i think.....:D......couple of weeks it will be firmly planted in my engine bay..... :P and another one for good measure Quote
Teddy Posted April 4, 2004 Report Posted April 4, 2004 oh we had fun today didnt we simon lol "oh your sump is black!" - Black sump? - Gah! Wheres that dam sump plug ! - "no, thats the welsh plug" - opps sorry !! Heheheh can't wait for the gathering in 2 weeks :P Quote
Xany Posted April 4, 2004 Author Report Posted April 4, 2004 yeah luckily there was a qualified mechanic there to sort things out.....(my brother) Quote
Teddy Posted April 4, 2004 Report Posted April 4, 2004 lol yup - hes darn good at his job - not even the smallest detail goes un-thought of with him around ! Quote
Xany Posted April 4, 2004 Author Report Posted April 4, 2004 yeah, like when we were putting the pistons in.....hes like " i need some tube to fit over these studs on the conrod".....i said what the f@$k for.....and he said you'll see.......so he slipped some tube over the studs and then hammers the piston home and says now have a look where the stud would have gone if the tube wasn't on it.....i looked and it would have scratched the shit out of the crankshaft.....so.....he does think ahead.....i wouldnt have thought to do that..... :P :dry: Quote
