Thats why you dont use a crank bolt to tighten down an aftermarket balancer.You use a balancer install tool.Using the crank bolt you dont know if the bolt is bottomed out or if the crank pulley is all the way on,also take a risk of breaking the crank bolt off.When i put my stock balancer back on this weekend it went on so easy the motor did not even turn over and that was with spark plugs out.Have to hold the crank to torque the bolt down.and thats it.Literally is true, a week after we in installed an ATI balancer on my buddys 18 whipple car the OPG broke at the track. We installed the ATI and torqued it to 120 ft lbs but it didnt seat. We had to pull it and torque it down a 2nd time for it to seat. I want to do an 8 rib kit on my car bad, but I dont really wanna mess with an aftermarket balancer and my car even already has has billet opg and crank sprocket.
