Review on πŸ”§ Efficient LS1 Harmonic Balancer & Crank Pulley Installer for GM LS1/LS Engines 1997~Current by Anthony Bandzz

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Minor design flaw otherwise good enough

A simple but effective tool to refit the LS Harmonic Balancer on the crankshaft saves you the trouble of finding the parts yourself (you'll have to contact your local workshop). screw supplier, Home Depot does not have materials with this thread pitch). One thing missing is a way to get the bolt out of the crankshaft mounting hole when you're done. They could have done that by rotating the flat about half an inch to put the key in, but they didn't. As a workaround, I visited a local bolt supplier and asked for a second nut like the one that comes with the kit. When I was done, I threaded the second nut onto the bolt and "jammed" them together, then took the open-end wrench on the one closest to the crank. Came out pretty easy.

Pros
  • Good thing
Cons
  • Definitely bad product
