the engine is actually out and on a stand.
I had the block and head machined and I rebuilt the engine. I had asked my machine shop if they could tap the snout for me. Nope. They said they couldn't do it. I was a little disappointed. Their other shop that inspected and polished my crank also said they were not equipped to tap it for me. I have the engine 90% assembled.
I know in the past the balancer was just installed using a hammer and drift. But the more i thought about it after I have it together, I was leaning towards tapping threads to make it a little easier on all the parts involved.
I was just going to use a hand drill and trust my bearings to keep it straight.
