The strange thing is.....to listen to the noise, you would be convinced it is coming from the oil pan. That balancer is headed to the trash can.
Doesn't sound like such a great engine builder if he is using a junk balancer because its "all he had". What if he needed 1/2" bolts but all he had was 3/8" bolts??? Just a thought... Guarantee he wouldn't have used that balancer on his engine...
