That drawing is misleading and in one place states its a spacer, not a seal. Pan off, slinger installed and crank turns without the balancer. Put on balancer and cannot turn crank even if I get it to torqued to specs. Appears to be 3-7/64" length on crank end to slinger and 3-21/64" on inside of harmonic balancer ... thats 7/32" difference, so maybe harmonic balancer is getting torqued too tight against crankshaft sprocket gear. Still puzzled on what to do to get crank to turn with harmonic balancer installed to torque specs.
So what inside dimensions - length should the harmonic balancer have for the 292? What is the proper 292 y-block harmonic balancer part number? Maybe I have one from a 239 y-block. Number on it is ECG 63 with the inside length of 3-21/64" which is 7/32" longer than the balancer shaft
to the oil slinger.
6700 - SEAL
6310 - OIL SLINGER
6306 - CRANK TIMING GEAR
The only thing I can think of concerning a spacer is the thought of the seal flange being considered as a spacer? The seal was installed on the inside of the front cover?
CASTING ID NO, EDG (there are more characters) ID's the balancer. There is more than one balancer. It depends on model type and belt sheave nos. Full ID NOS may help to ID which one you have.
Actual dimension specs are not given. I some instances, measurements are given in CATALOGING TEXT to help ID a part.
Wondering, when you torque the balancer bolt to spec, how is the clearances on the crank center thrust bearing?
