LS1/LS6 balancer install in Arkansas Looking for anyone around the Clarksville, Ar area that has a LS1 balancer installer and wouldnt mind me using it to install my balancer.
I called the dealer ship and they wont take 5 mins to install it for me. None of the shops here have the specialized one for the LS style motors. I did some research and have not found a install for rent only to buy and I dont have 100.00 to pay for one right now.
If anyone has one or can help me out in anyway I would greatly appreciate it, this is the last thing holding up the installation of my engine in the 944 porsche.

there was a guy selling them on ebay for $20 or so
or you can carefully tap it on with the side face of a large hammer, heat it up and it should tap on easy far enough for the old crank bolt threads to be deep enough to pull it on (rule of thumb is at least the width of the bolt deep, the more the better)

Or buy some all thread & two nuts. Sell it when you're done.

Won't work. The threaded shaft is too short.

Thank you for all the input. The guy on ebay emailed me and I finally was able to locate a picture thanks to him. Also in a GM performance magazine they show using a longer bolt, the stock one is 103mm long and the one they used was 120mm. I went to the bolt store and aquired a 130mm bolt two washer and a nut for about 6 bucks. It should get it on there enough tot get the old bolt to be able to torque it down. The all thread is about 20 dollars for one piece. Kinda strapped for cash right now so I am finding the best alternatives that wont mess anything up. Thank you again.
