hamonic balancer hitting

[RustyRatRod]

Why you have to be so mean?
Did you forget your pills again?
Or do you two guys know eachother?
Have you tried zooming it?

At 300% I can see what timing index is aligned to the damper line.

I'm not being mean. How would you know that unless you hear tone of voice? I'm being realistic. I'm getting tired of coming into these threads trying to help people FREE OF CHARGE and having to pull information like teeth. It's just stupid. There's nothing mean about that.

the back of the balancer is hitting where the timing marks are on the cover, it bottoms out on it

Ok, at least NOW we have a clear description. Did this same balancer and timing cover ever run on the engine together? There is no spacer that installs behind the balancer. .....at least none that I know of.

We are putting in the 360, it was taken apart over a year ago and just sat on shelf until now, the balancer came off the 360 and was put back on but now it is hitting where the timing marks are, the timing cover is brand new so i was thinking the cover is made wrong in that area

Ok, then I believe we have narrowed it down. I would surmise your timing cover is made for a smaller diameter balancer than what you have.

There are NO dowel pins in a sbm timing cover

My bad, I was thinking about something else.

Or a chinesium knock off that's not made properly, in which case the water pump pulley alignment could be affected.

Could well be!

Know this issue all too well. I had the same thing on my 340, original cover was rotted inside which swapped fluids. Ordered new one from summit believe it was a dorman replacement. The existing balancer hit so ordered summits smaller one but both times came as a bigger balancer. Come to find out they don’t have but is advertised. Ended up milling the timing enough that the balancer would not hit. I have a spare balancer for sale haha.

Time to get the die grinder out and trim a little

Do you still have the original timing cover, rule of thumb don't throw anything away until project is done.

Pic of it

 

[dodgedude37]

Yes it did. Sounds good too

Good deal, glad you got it figured out, looks good. I'm a 340 duster fan myself, but that’s because I found one many years ago.
