Well, I'm the guy who stirred up this hornet's nest, I guess, by asking what I thought would be a simple question. Holy crap, I never dreamed it was such a sensitive topic!

As a somewhat senior citizen type gearhead myself, I have installed a few balancers in my time, but this is the first one I have encountered without a balancer bolt and I though maybe there was a definitive method for doing it. Hmmm...apparently not.

So I guess I can either 1) drill and tap the crankshaft, 2) heat the balancer and/or chill the crankshaft, or 3) pound the sucker on cold. I'm not sure which method I will use (they would all probably work), but I'm gonna do something this weekend even if I do it wrong. Probably won't post the results, though, cuz I don't want to start another flame war.

For everybody who tried to help, thanks for taking the time. For everybody who got their knickers in a knot, it's not worth getting overheated about -- just let it go.

It's time to end this thread. Thanks to all who participated.
