Next Question - Balancer Time?
This process started as a cooling system and intake/4 bbl mod...then discovered the timing cover was jacked....so I bought a double roller for it..THEN decided to do the balancer since I was gonna have it off. I also found the water jacket studs broken off one head, so it's getting head gaskets too. I'm really not wanting to do a whole engine rebuild yet. I know it runs (not for long, no coolant at the time) and I want to get it running so I can make sure the rest of the driveline is ok. Down the road I plan to build a nice little stroker or something for it. It's an M882 Five-Quarter ton, with only 87k on the clock. The tires are from '93 and it was last registered in '95.
