I'm having some re-assembly issues with my 8" finned harmonic balancer during my engine build. Some suggestions are needed to figure it out. Here's what I have.
I'm building a '65 L79 engine. I have the stock crank and the 8" harmonic balancer (part no. 3817173). The crank timing gear is .544 thick. The timing cover with 8" timing tab is in place. When I press on the harmonic balancer to seat up against the crank timing gear, the back side of the balancer fits too tight against the timing cover. I'm not sure if I need a thicker crank timing gear or what. Has anyone run into this before, or does anyone have any solutions?
Thanks.
Tony
