I thought you had mentioned to me it was machined way back when. Anyway when I measured it, it has a .180 register so .030 seems to have been taken off. But the way the lower pulley keeps pulling loose there's definitely not enough register to help keep it in place. IW makes a balancer with a 4 magnet hub and then they also make up to a 12 magnet trigger wheel which is where I got the idea for the wheel I made in Solidworks. **But I do not want to lose that much resolution. However if what I am making does not work I will get their 12 magnet wheel and remove one magnet making it a 12-1 wheel and swap crank sensors and be done.Was the old balancer machined so adding the crank trigger wouldn’t push the lower pulley out too far?
Why not buy the innovators west balancer with built in crank trigger magnets?
Blower is on, going to stick with my baby 7inch pulley. Test drive was safe mode on the way to TMS and sitting in line for an hour at the LMR cruise.Thank you, me too. Once you put that blower kit on you’ll have a giant set of NASA parts on the front of the crank too

Interesting this may be the "pop" I could never find on my truck will look as I rebuild her!Raymond, check the frame (engine cradle) while you down that far to make sure there aren't any cracks. Because if there are any where the ibeam pivot bracket bolts you'll need to pull the shortblock to fix it.
The, the what!? Adding another feature to look for on my truck. So far I’ve lucky enough to catalog enough of the known issues from here in my lizard brain that when something is off I’m already hitting the checkout button with the stuff in my saved lists. Having a Summit Racing 30 miles away helps too.Interesting this may be the "pop" I could never find on my truck will look as I rebuild her!
Raymond, don’t know if there are any more events coming up but I look forward to seeing your truck and stealing ideas.
So I gave up on my crank trigger wheel dream. There's just no way to make it all work unless you machine the balancer or lower pulley hub. So I swapped to a 12 magnet front cover balancer still kept the thicker "blower hub" option.. I'd prefer the increased accuracy of the 36-1 wheel over a 12-1, but I do not think it will be any big deal. Hopefully will get it all back together this weekend if work permits...

interesting that doesn't fit. Id think the water pump general shape is pretty standard across the entire SBF line up.
Naaa you'll be fine, this is just with the larger aftermarket diameter balancers.Hmmm, Im running the SN-95 cover and water pump from Jamie V's truck on my 93, but with a stock balancer. Do these cause any issues with the blower pullies?
You could hang that image as a portrait in an art studio and someone would buy it.Just took some grinding on the one bolt boss, appears to be back in bidness, yay.
