Harmonic Balancer Install, Can I Do It This Way? - 05/22/13 12:52 AM
Hi all again,
Getting closer to getting the 250 back together. I have read everywhere that I should drill and tap the crank but I am not sure I want to risk it and screw something up.
I know using a mallet is not great on the thrust bearing but I had an idea to help prevent damage.
If I put a block of wood between the engine stand and the back of the crank, wedging it forward, then using a mallet to install it. This would keep the the load off the thrust bearing.
Would this work?
