Harmonic Balancer install. This normal?
Installed my harmonic balancer on my freshly built 370 today. Used a tool from Proform. I installed it as far as my strength would let me and I feel like it bottomed out against the crank. However, there looks to be a gap between the balancer and timing cover. Looks like it isn't installed all the way.
Maybe I am just paranoid but is this gap normal?

Get the accessories mounted, then you will know by whether the pulleys align properly or not once a belt is in place.

GM puts sealer on the bolt HEAD. Why? because oil can wick through the pressed area and the slot for a woodruff on aftermarket balancers. No sealer needed on the threads cause thats not where the oil would come from.
