Gday everyone,

Quick question, I've just purchased a New Harmonic Balancer and timing cover seal, do I need to lubricate this or apply anything (either side) when installing,

Cheers and thanks

Kev

I always apply a smear of gasket goo around the outer surface of the new oil seal metal shell before installing into the timing cover and lightly lubricate the rubber seal and the seal surface on the balancer with engine oil prior to assembly.

And give the seal running surface on the balancer a good clean before fitting, they are quite often coated in gunk that stops them going rusty while sitting in a warehouse.

 

P.S. Very pretty but it's gonna run like a busted arse with that single carby setup!

Nice.... What are your engine specs?

3 bond number 1 on the outside of the shell, either some rubber grease or engine oil, for fitment of the cleaned balancer, is my method.

Hi Vol oil pump,

 

I had it stripped down a while back and re - honed with new rings & bearings, and am just getting all the extra bits on it now as my Spray painter has promised to have the shell back to me in Feb

Is that a coffee stain on the carpet in the lounge ?
Or did the motor take a leak ,
Just kidding
Good place to do a reassemble.
