March 30, 200422 yr comment_7196 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 Report
March 31, 200422 yr Author comment_7210 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....

April 4, 200422 yr Author comment_7315 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: Report
