Well after further research. I have concluded my pin broke. I see the square hole inside the dampner for it. And I looked at the crank and right next to the snout i see the pin. It is flush against the crank so I am assuming it broke off due to a big load. I called ati but they said to call them back monday cause theyre closed.

Anyone know the size of this so I can replace it via a near by auto store and I am gonna see if it will come out with a magnet (i doubt it but i will try). Any thoughts on how to get that sucker out?

Thanks,

Crystal

Well I know the one that I have is a 3/16" I believe...I just got some really strong stainless stell dowels and cut them to fit... It was pretty easy... I believe your local hardware store should probably carry them...

You really don't want to know....It was a crude method but it worked... =)

I'll pm you with it... I'm kinda embarrassed but it's the only means that I had...

I have an ATI pin kit here and it is 3/16". You may want to run a double pin 180 apart if you broke the one. You would have to have the balancer broached for a second keyway 180 from the one it, asssuming you have the ATI balancer.

The instructions say to drill the hole for the pin all the way through to the bolt bore when installing it for the first time. I would think if you had the bolt removed you could tap it through and use a magnet to pull it out of the 16mm bolt hole

I was worried about the integrity of the single pin for high loads. I have my engine down now and think I am going to have the crank keywayed while it is out and cover all the bases.

Good Luck
