Harmonic balancer pulley not seating flush
Posted by Hans Ahlness On 2014/4/29 14:46:51
I asked this on my project blog, but in hopes of reaching a wider audience (no offense to my 3 or 4 loyal readers, and of course you either Mom) I will ask this here too.
I started to put on the harmonic balancer pulley, but it doesn't seat all the way - see the picture. I tried pulling it down with the bolt and washer but it only goes so far, and doesn't get flush with the end to the shaft. So I have to get some bolts that fit the pulley, 7/16 fine thread which did not come with my puller set. When I disassembled it originally I just used a regular gear puller, but now I don't want to muck up the paint so I will do it right. Anyone have an idea what I'm doing wrong? There is just the timing gear, then the seal carrier, and then this pulley. I greased the inside of the cork seal prior to trying the pulley, so it shouldn't be hanging up on that?
