I would not heat that Balancer.

Use a "Balancer Installer" instead.

Have you seen the episode of "Pinks" where the mustang comes out of the burn out box, and the outer ring of the balancer came flying out from under the car?

Good reason to spend more in some areas than others IMO.

Good luck with the balancer.

Why would the directions say to heat it?? They don't know WTF they are talking about?? Well lets see the temp in the Radiator sees around 200* at times I would think that the Block, Balancer etc would get hotter than the water that is trying to cool it. I don't have a heat gun BUT I bet it sees over 215* all the time which is where It says to heat it to. If the balancer goes from room temp to 215* slowly it should not hurt it one bit in my opinion.

Oh and I have a Balancer installer!!

The guy on pinks probably used a TORCH....................
