[93gtstang]

Well a while back some of you may remember that i had a ford racing harmonic balancer and broke it, Well i guess when it did that it bent the crankshaft, i have not been able to keep a belt on the supercharger and i can watch my lower pullie wobble when its idling so i removed the pully to fine the harmonic balancer does it too, remove the balancer and restart guess what CRANK IS BENT, I believe my car hates me cause now i have to take the engine back out and redo the bottom end basically, hopefully craig can hook a brother up. Im done nice way to spend memorial day huh??

so did your bent crank break the balancer or did the balancer hurt the crank?

:eek: Wow a good question!

:D


Seriously, that could be the reason your balancer failed. Hate to hear about anyone having car problems, hope yours works out for the better.

crank steel or cast?

big power adders + cast cranks = usually running on borrowed time.

sorry to hear of your strife man.

well its a stock crank that i had inspected and turned so i would say that the balancer hurt the crank but i dont know, and at this point it doesnt matter :) cause i have a new balancer and guess im getting a new FORGED CRANK

well I'd have to agree with you on that then, Glad your getting things squared away and will have it up and running again.
