ATI crank balancer/damper users come in
The hub on the ATI balancer I bought has a keyed slot that the OEM cranksnout does not use. I see this as a source of a possible oil leak. Should I shoot some black silicone into this keyway before I tighten the crankbolt down?

OK next issue went to install it with the Kent Moore installer and the bolt is too dam short. I dont know if it is because the hub of this ATI unit is new but the hub dont go to far onto the crank snout by hand. Sits pretty far off the on the snout and the bolt wont reach far enough into the crank to grab. I'm gonna hit the specialty hardware store tomorrow and try to get a longer bolt I guess.

When I put my hub on I will unbolt the pully from the hub and put the hub in the oven at 220 deg for about a half hour. This will swell the hub and you can TAP it lightly with a rubber mallet and it will seat on easier. One more thing I have tried is my grocery store sells dry ice cheap so I will get a block and hold it on the crank for about 5-10 min while the pully is cooking and that made the pully go right on. Don't over heat the hub due to risk of damage to the timing cover seal.

While we are on the subject I purchased the ARP crankbolt and was wondering about torque figure. I will be pinning this with a fixture from ProCharger that I am being loaned.
