I’ve done it this way a hundred times. Some guys give me grief about damaging the thrust bearing surfaces... but I’ve not even had one issue this way. Glad to see I’m not the only one. Also, your attitude and and energy top notch.
much appreciated brotha LS.. yea i got some push back, but if it work go with it..
Wow ,i can remember using this method when i was in trade school ,back in the early 90s. There was two of us working on a car. I told my buddy with the hammer to hit it ,while i was holding the wood. When the hammer came down ,he wacked me right on the thumb !!!! I felt like the whole world stopped spinning for ten minutes.
been there done that lolol.. im sure a few choice words were spoken lolol
I went to John Deere and bought 3 metric bolts in 3 different lengths and was able to push the balancer on that way. John Deere has an amazing selection of metric fasteners if you are ever stuck for a bolt or nut!
Whenever im looking for LS videos for my commodore SS, i always look for your stuff first 😅
Well done man, hello from Australia!
much appreciated.. thanks brotha Mickey.. great to know im videos are hitting Austraila..
Hey there Terry,
Just wanted to say hi to you all the way from Saudi Arabia :)
I admire your spirit, you sure are a motivator..
Wish you the best...
👍🏽😉
ahhh thanks my Saudi brotha.. much appreciated partner..
The info never ends! Enjoying it!!
My Man..
You could also take your torch out and heat just the seat on the pulley and it will slide strait on no effort needed.
yea, but i like this way a lil better..
I love to see progress u don't let a tool stop u from doing your job 1 monkey can ruin your day if u let it thinking outside the box getting it done great view brother😊
amen to that brotha DB,, thanks partner..
@@Coverman66 your welcome brother😊
I use one of the arp longer crank bolt I had laying around... helps pull it on then switch back to the original bolt...
yea thats another great way.. i usually use a LS7 bolt..
Some guys use air hammers with planishing hammer bits welded with an old balancer bolt washer to push the balancer back. I can't say I've never hammered one on before, but I have heard the danger is more about hurting the thrust bearing on th3 other side of the crank. I've never seen one damaged by this, but that's what they say. Otc makes nice installers and removers, and the gm tool is just a threaded rod with a nut, washer and a cup spacer, you can actually find knock offs on eBay for cheap. Great video though
thanks RH.. i use the OTC and the GM installer, just didnt have it in the Garage Shop
Dont hammer it on lol learned the hard way kills the thrust washer cost me an engine
Great video man!! You'll be a great host for a car show. Very detailed info
thanks brotha Marco.. much appreciated..
@@Coverman66 yes sir
Lol! Airplane homage! Lol Good to see another video, Terry.
thanks brotha Giuseppe.. long time no hear partner..
I hit mine up in the center with a map gas plumbers torch for 30 seconds then slap it on quickly
any way to get it loose lololo
I did mine the same way, I used my propane torch warmed it up with a small flame until my thermo gun read 225 degrees, it slid on with no effort!
You could have used some all thread rod just cut it to the right length and weld a nut on the end and use the second nut with a washer to push the balancer on
very creative.. thanks for the tip BK... much appreciated..
Yes and many make and sell this tool
Try heating the damper with a propane torch it should slip right on.
ive seen that done, i dont like do it that way because it could weaken the rubber that holds the balancer together
I guess we're not talking much heat. A concern would be crank seal damage.

i can understand that..
love the videos man. I've been having my serpentine belt slowly jump grooves and work it's way off of my ac compressor. I feel like my crank pulley not being installed far enough into the crank snout is the culprit.. do you know the proper distance between the back of a truck(lq9) pulley and the front timing chain cover? thanks for reading!
The answer for tools or CDs or anything of that nature that somebody wants to borrow from you have them leave you a deposit large enough that you can replace what you're loaning them if they don't have it don't loan it to him if you do you're just asking for trouble.
lolol good point.. lol
Hey dude
The video was cool
much appreciate brotha Peter.. thanks for viewing..
Heating the balancer in the oven helps too :)
yea ive heard about that, i just get a lil concerned abut the rubber in the middle sandwiching the peices together.. thanks..
@@Coverman66 I'd estimate how hot it gets under high engine operating temperture. If you only heat the oven to 100-120 celcius , you should be fine.
i will check it out and of course do a video lolol
I used the Denmah Sloppy method by heating it up with a propane torch. Lol.
im going to have to try that..

Around the 25 minute mark
Does the Truck AC compressor work with the LSA harmonic balancer? It looks like you are gonna have to use the 6 rib to run the 4 rib AC belt
depending on the pulley system.. some will you allow you to use ac groove on the LSA pulley
Thanks for posting this. Read about this method in forums but always like watching it being done. Worked flawlessly....Now...how would you suggest to torque this bolt? Im just spinning around right now..(Engine is out of vehicle and sitting on a pallet)
220 PSI is hard to achieve with the engine out the car.. i pop it a few timed with the impact and end it brotha TK.
You can put a pipe wrench on the balancer then use torque wrench.
Thats what I did
What do you torque that bad boy to?
210 foot pounds.that what GM recommends
The pulley are the same height but the offset is completely different. The stock pulley sits in further. Have you ran into any problems with it yet? I have the same motor but using LSA pulley for a procharger set up
whats good Tyler.. the stock LSA is my go to Pulley.. laways use them..
Does the crank pulley spin crank shalf together? There no key pin on crank pulley?
when you are making more than 400hp it would be wise to install a pin..
Are you going to use the 8 rib LSA front accessory drive? If so, I hear that you need to notch the frame to clear the ac compressor
i guess it depends on the pulley setup you go with.. im using LSsimple, no notching required.
Is that not torque to yield bolt???
they are for sure.. about 220 ft lbs.
Cause i did mine,,first i did 240 lbs with the old bolt then remove the old bolt and install a new bolt and did 35 lbs then 140 degrees after..it was pretty hard to to the 140 deegrees...but you can do it, just be patient....
@@adalbertovalencia7862 thats the way to do it.. getting to 220lbs is tough.. lolo like you said it can be done.
I have an install tool. Do I need my old crank bolt to fully seat the balancer after using the tool? I have no idea where that bolt is :(
most people will use the old bolt to torque the crank down to 220ft then back it off and install the new bolt. ive seen it down several different ways.. i use the old bolt to install.. then back out and install the new bolt.
My god..it takes like..10min max to heat it up in over..and it'll slide all the way on no problem..or even just a torch if you don't want to stink up the house..good luck when you either mar up the crank putting on crooked or snap the crank bolt off in the crank..
mar up? its a light tap.. its going to slide on one way or another.. how could it possibly go on crooked? finally the only time the impact gun was applied was to torque down to 220lbs.
I installed a cam shaft on a 05 Silverado 5.3 I also removed the both heads to clean them and change my lifters as well, but I have a very important question about regarding my crankshaft, so after I finished installing the new cam with retainer plate tighten down and sprocket aligned with crank sprocket everything torqued down afterwards I went to crank the crank shaft with a ratchet and only allows me to turn it almost 90 degree to clockwise and counterclockwise then stops and I cant crank any further is this suppose to be normal since the transmission is still intact I'm really worried about this and would like your feedback thanks.
email me at terrylsx@yahoo..
Nice !
Hey terry my ac clutch went just in time for summer I wanna thank the heat gods for that! Lol
Mines an 08 and has climate control
Question is can you take a peek At yours is your ac a 3 wire ? Or 2 ? I believe mine is 3 I would like to have the part before I tear into it . And it would suck to tear into it and it be down 👍🏻 thanks man ! Keep them vids coming!
always and thanks.. i will check tonight.. email you later..
Thanks man!
Problem solved...problem staying solved!
always hope for the best with the fingers crossed. lolol
Lmao man your voice your look and personality 100% remind me of muhammad ali. No offense meant just strait up could almost pull off a look alike.
