this method sucks. i had mine on for 6 months and the pin was broken, as many others on here were broken. i took my buddies front pinning kit to a machine shop and had them lathe down the jig so itll fit in the ATI damper. worked like a charm.


one thing i noticed it the write up about the wideband. You want it between 0-90*. Condensation can settle in the O2 sensor if its below the the 3 or 9 o'clock positions and damage the sensor. may want to add that.

Also, i never had any heating issues with my single 16" procharger fan.

I'm interested to see this update. I side pinned my crank, and it sheered which then wasted the center hub on my balancer. The hub spun on the crank once the pin broke and it galled up the inside of the hub. On the new build, I had my crank cut to run a keyway and had to buy a new hub. It also screwed up my crank snout. The crank is fine for a now supercharged setup, but wit the extra load on the crank, I didn't want to reuse the crank. I guess I could always have the snout welded and reground.

Just FYI, it's critical to pin the crank in case you ever had any doubt.

I think I said to put it at a slight angle didn't I? I cnt remember and I'm to lazy right now to scroll up because I have a question for you allout! What should the gap be from the crank snout to the inside edge of the balancer? I have a 1/4" gap. Was your gap that big?

Alchemist or Allout do you know how much gap there should be between the crank snout and the inner edge of the ATI balancer? I got 1/4 inch between them

What gap are you talking about? I just bottomed mine out and it should line up with both the a/c pullies and the main drive pulleys.

Looking at that picture, I'd say it needs to be flush. Only real way to tell is check pulley alignment. I don't remember off the top of my head what that looked like, and to check it would mean removing the crank bolt, but if I remember, I'll pull it and check.

I just did mine and had the same gap (I measured 5/16). I emailed ATI and they said it was right and the pulleys line up.

You want that small gap in between the pulley hub and the crank. This keeps the load of the crank bolt on the hub, pushing it back in to the engine. Just make sure the pulleys line up. I had to shave a little bit off of the back of my ati hub because of my double roller timing chain gear. The hub was bottoming out on the gear and sticking too far out the front of the engine.

Awesome! Looks like were good to go. This will be good info for people wanting to know in the future. With an ATI balancer for procharger application you should have a 5/16 gap between the face of your crank and the inner face of you ATI balancer..

That's good if you have the motor out or your having an engine built for you, but when your engine is in the car pinning is the way to go..
