Rookie balancer mistake
So i was measuring the leading edge (the side of the balancer that you put on first) of the balancer, which is a bigger hole, and comparing it to the OD of the crank. Of course its 0.025 bigger. Duh. My micrometer jaws for measuring ID are short and could not get by the thick azz balancer, so gee whiz pop, ill just measure the other side...
So. I'm going to have 0.030 taken off the snout to get stock depth. Ill bring the stock balancer for comparison to the machinist. And he will measure the ID and make sure im around that 0.008-0.010 smaller number previously mentioned. Ill measure the key width. Get her heated up and slide it in like prom night!
Thanks again, sorry, but this is who yer dealin with.
See where it hits the dial?
