BlackMess Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 Well because Principal skinner locked up my thread in the romper room I figured I'd post it here. Will the ATI kit work with a stock balancer?? The write up looks like it pins the crank from the side rather then the face. Where can I get a kit to pin it like brandon did??

MrMeanGreen Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 Do you need one? I'm running an ARP bolt, red Loc-tite, and 250 ft/lbs and haven't had issues with mine for years, even to 7k RPMs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ATI pin kit will work, this is what I used, and I am using the stock balancer, you just have to be careful how far you drill for the pin. Its a plate that threads up with a bolt they provide, then you drill for the pin dowl, I think the pin kit is like 60 dollars, jegs may have one instock.

twistedfocus1647545489 Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 There aren't any in the stores currently, but there's one here in Delaware you could pick up in Will Call if you need it ASAP. Otherwise one of the stores could order it down. http://www.jegs.com/i/ATI/085/918993/10002/-1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackMess Posted May 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 http://www.aacorvette.com/performance/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=67 Is that the same as the ATI kit?? The ATI kit looks like you have to remove the crank pullley and the pin goes in the side?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linn1647545492 Posted May 27, 2010 Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 I'd assume the motor has 100 miles on it and it spit out the bolt! It's very common for this to happen. Sam had huge issues with his until he pinned the crank. Do that and you will never have to worry about it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackMess Posted May 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 Ordered the pink kit, ARP bolt, red loc tite and ready to torque to down to 250 ft/lb. I dare that bastard to try to come out again! I'd image its going to be a bitch to drill through the crank and pulley though..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted May 27, 2010 Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 use the old bolt to reinstall the balancer. torque it to 250 then take the bolt back out, pin it then install the ARP bolt. the ARP is a waste IMHO just because the pin holds everything, plus i have a few new GM bolts laying around lol.
