Default ATI Balancer Install Questions

So this is a Lh6 block with a 5.3 LM7 crank.

I wanted to run Fbody accessories so I bought an Fbody ATI Damper.

The Hub is running into the oil pump gear and still has this much sticking out, is this correct? I called ATI and they weren't that helpful, just told me the C4 hubs were shorter.


Maybe it just looks weird to me because theres no huge taper leading up to the pulley like the stock one. I also don't have any accessories yet to compare belt alignment.

I just feel like the seal should ride on the tapered part of the hub.

And yes I measured, the hub is fully up against the lower timing gear.

I would say mount the accessories and see how things align. Then you will know...

I did, they were not very helpful, similar to you right now.

His point is that this should be in "Gen III External", not "Advanced Engineering".
