We've all been there.:Handshake The oil seal is in the front cover and rides on the shiny part of the balancer.
LOL! Ill get you some pictures. The new balancer is on, and everythign reassembled, but now I have a rather loud clanking sound corrosponding w/ RPM. Doesn't sound like the balancer area, sound like internal
Did it do this before? trying swapping balancers and see what happens Your an expert and removing and installing them
Yeah no kiddin. Don't think it is the balancer though. My sethoscope tells me a valve problem. I swear I can't get ahead with this car :16suspect
