    327 balancer

     



    I'm building a 327 (sj) and have a press on balancer. A friend told me "have the crank drilled for that". Is this something that is really necessary? Do they come off at high rpm's? And is that a "normal" service at a machine shop?

    Good idea to do it, Bob. Anyone with a good lathe should be able to do it for you. They do come off.

    Streets & Dave,
    Thanks...done deal. I've gotta say that the thought of the dampner coming off at 7 grand is pretty ugly.....REALLY bad things would happen I'm sure!!!
    Thanks guys.....

    did NOT listen to other's advise...

     



    Radiator $180
    water pump $ 65
    drive belt $ 13
    fan shroud $ 12
    tow bill $ 45
    hood dent $320


    listening to others who have BEEN THERE... priceless!

    I had just "pulled" third at 70mph on I-10 in a 67 Camaro.

    Hey Mad, isn't experience a great teacher??? Add me to the "been there, done that" list, except it was on a 283 punched to 301!!! Kinda like buy insurance Bob, too late to buy it once the damage is done.
