Well, my brand new harmonic balancer is stuck halfway on.  Gotta pull it off with a removal tool.  My "how to" book says to polish the crank nose with emery cloth.  We did that but not seriously.  Only thing I know to do now is to get really serious with some elbow grease and several sheets of emery cloth.

Could heat the center a little with a torch, but those balancers have a rubber ring between the inside hub and the outer ring which I am sure doesn't like a lot of heat..  

Seems I never quit asking questions...  I really have a lot of experience building motors but this engine has really been a handful..  

Thanks guys..
