balancer sticking out after double roller Got my LS1 together, I installed a double roller timing chain. Now when I put the balancer on it sticks out a hair under 1/4 inch, is this normal?

Or could I just space my other acc's out to match balancer? I don't want to cause a vibration in the motor but I hate to cut a new balancer and not be able to use it on another engine, but i'd rather ruin a balancer then an engine

When you cut a hub (or anything) on a lathe it will be smooth as glass, meaning within .oooX of an inch. Its not like we are asking you to cut it with a hacksaw

My closest machine shop with a lathe is about an hour away, by the time I pay to cut it and gas and time I think i'd be better off just to switch out the timing chain to the LS2, do they make those chains in 3 bolt pattern?
