Inliners International Forums General Discussion Hi Performance 8" balancer on 250 and run accessories

Randy, If you counterbore the crank timing gear to allow the balancer to tuck in close the the timing cover that will help.

I ran a single groove sheave on my balancer. I think it was a '60s vintage big block chevy power steering sheave, flat with a single groove. Added maybe 3/4 inch in total to the front of the engine.

Water pump I had a double groove, then power steering off the water pump. Yes, the belts were in series but seemed to work OK.

I did have to fabricate accessory brackets to match sheave alignment. Sorry I don't have photos. I do have the parts and can dig them out for photo upon request.
