Isn't that like the "mechanic" in the neighborhood garage near where I grew up that used to tighten Chevy 6's headbolts down 'til they squealed then gave them another half turn?? Originally Posted by Dave Severson

He never had a return for a leaky head gasket

Yeah, and if that doesn't work....you go to the RBFH method..... Originally Posted by Dave Severson

I thought you tightened until you feel them stretch, then back them off 1/8 turn...... Originally Posted by Irelands child

I thought it was tighten them until they strip and back it off a 1/4..
What if the "Hokey Pokey" is what it's really all about?

Well its fixed, it was the balancer, took it off today, and the outer ring had slipped forward about 1/4", got another one from an old motor, and no more wobbling, just thought i would update you guys on this, you guys were right.

I had this same problem - I found the keyway on the crank sheared out
Pretty certain it happened while doing a 120mph/high rpms and turning on the A/C - I wont try that again.Go ahead and tell me what you think, just don't expect me to change my mind.
