Balancer Issue

[Norm]

I have a fluid damper that I got with my Ty. The problem is that it hits the timing cover indexer mark. I could just cut off the mark and still use the fluid damper. Anybody else use one of these or should I just put a stock balancer on . Here's a pic of the issue at hand.

Re: Balancer Issue

If you want to run the Fluidamper you'll have to use an aftermarket pointer. Summit carries an aluminum pointer for that balancer.

I have a Fluidamper & the aftermarket pointer & everything fits fine.

Re: Balancer Issue

Don't forget our motors are all externally balanced, so if you replace the balancer you run a good chance of throwing your bottom end out of balance!! Unless you had your motor rebuilt and paid big bucks (>$500) to drill the crank counterweights and install heavy metal to convert it to an internally balanced engine...
