Hey buddy, are you saying that your balancer pulley is riding in and out? That does not sound good.

no it doesnt lol.. im ready to tackle that next week. like if u see it from the side of the motor (passenger side its easier) u can see it going in n out with a play of maybe 1/4 inch or so.. im not drivin it like that tho

I don't see how the heck that could happen. the crank is walking that much?

I have used them for a few items and they were pretty good prices. Funny avatar BTW!!:cheers:

awesome.. thanks i might go either that way or the oem ebay way.

Just wondering how your project went. We just did this on my son's '98 C5. It was a real PIA! The torque procedure for the pulley was amazing to say the least. We replaced the timing chain, water pump, and serpentine idlers while we had it apart just for good measure. My son's balancer walked off so far it was rubbing against the rack and pinion unit. We had one he(ck) of a time getting it off because it wouldn't go back on the hub. We finally had to cut the pulley portion off the rubber with a cutoff wheel. Hope yours went easier. BTW, we decided that the original balancer had lasted for 11 years and 114,000 miles, so we just went back with a stock balancer from Chevy. He just uses the Vette as his daily driver.

congrats with that! i havent tackled mine yet, i come back from florida on the 23 or so and then ill do it, mine is walkin back to n makin a little noise but nothing close to the power steering assembly... i went drifting last night.. also found out i shoot flames!!! anyways.. any recomendations? did u have to take the power steering rack out?
