I’ve lubed everyone I’ve ever installed, Oem and keyed aftermarket. No issues ever.

Right. The interference fit pretty much squeezes/scrapes the oil away. The fit pretty much is metal to metal.

I just heat the snout of the balancer with a torch until the you feel the heat coming into the 3 " "supports".
Should slide on but if not be ready with the old bolt and a impact to drive it on the rest of the way. The faster you do it the better off you'll be, it cools very quickly.
Note there will be a gap between the outside of the balancer and the end of the crank, it's normal.

ok...got it on
put it in the oven 200
cooled down before i could really get it on
the GM tool proved to be on the short side .....luckily had another tool handy
did use wd40....not very slippery
every turn of the nut made the balancer go POP....scared me !
if i was to do it again i would use assembly lube !
