Its on the car already. The problem i have is that the harmonic balancer is bottoming out on the either the oil pump or this "shim" that fits inside the pump and around the crank snout.

the shim for the pump is for the spring which is under the allen bolt, as for any other shim your talking about i dont know....sounds like you might have installed oil pump or gear and chain wrong

x2 I took a used TSP pump apart to inspect it before I put it on my engine. I didn't see anything that would inhibit the balancer installation. Are you sure the balancer isn't pressed on all the way? I can't remember if the balancer sits flush with the crank but on alot of other engines it doesnt
