    That's pretty cool. I use a simple 6" long piece of all thread, two washers and a deep socket on a nut to draw the balancer on.

    I've screwed up the threads in the crank using a longer bolt.

    I have one that someone else made similar to your build....Actually yours looks beefier. Makes the install soooooo much easier. Good price too, IMO.

    I have one that hawk over on ls1tech made and the bearing locked up the first time it was used. This one works just fine, even leaving the crank and the balancer dry with no oil it pulled it on just fine.

    How did you manage to do that?

    Just like the reason studs are better than bolts. Any time you use the threads to screw into and put a lot of pressure on to pull something on you risk the chance of damaging the threads. Yes sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. It's worked fine for me once and the second time it messed the threads up so that was the last time I've done that. If you read much on ls1tech you will see were several people have damaged the threads inside the crank from using a longer bolt.

    The best advice I have ever heard:... Only take B( . Y . )ST advice from someone that is CURRENTLY running a turbo setup close to, or bigger than what you want......
