I have a Bulltear timing cover and a Professional Products harmonic balancer. When fully torqued down and after being installed with the proper installing tool the balancer is abt 1/4 inch out and the belts won't line up. Stock crank shaft.. it was not touched in the engine work I have done.
The distance from the oil slinger on the bottom timing gear to the outside of the main seal is only about 7/16 of and inch. The 'snout' on the balancer is about 1/4 of an inch too long.
Could the timing gear be wrong and it is too thick?? Can the balancer just be machined down and it will be ok? Really odd issue..... any help would be appreciated!!
