Efficient Installation: Moroso 61740 Balancer Install Tool for Small Block Chevy Review

This tool is a must when it comes to properly installing a Harmonic Balancer! I used it on my Chevy 327cu engine and it worked great! It's definitely better than hitting or hitting a balance bar. And it's very easy to use. I can't imagine not having it in the future. This is a good tool and well made! mike

First I bought another brand (ProForm) and it broke. Revane returned immediately. As for the rear, I think the previous brand did the job, but I was convinced that the balancer should go further. However, I thought the previous brand broke too easily. The Moroso brand tool feels heavier in the hand, the metal looks better. Worked great.

Frost has never let me down. I bought this tool to install a harmonic balancer, I took my time and this tool made the job very easy. I didn't use a rubber t-shirt, didn't put marks on the face of the balancer, and didn't knock out the crankshaft journals. This tool works for all 283 327 350 400 307 305 CID SBC engines. . 55-86 years and I bet it works for 87-95 too. New very valuable tool in my chest. Thank you Moroso!

I've been putting balancing weights on the path of "yard mechanics" for many years! The Moroso Balancer Installation Tool is required when installing more expensive close fit balancers. It is easy to use and can be left on to turn the engine crankshaft and complete valve clearance adjustment while the engine is still on the work stand. Lubricate the threads on the tool and thrust bearing with motor oil before use and it will last a very long time.

The tool itself seems solid. But before using it, you need to solve the crankshaft problem. I had to carefully thread my rebuilt 350 forged crank first. I used a thin standard 7/16 tap (I think it was 7/16-20), being very careful to keep it straight. I used some high temp molybdenum wheel bearing grease in the large tool threads. I also used some on the inside of the damper. I put an open end wrench on the small hex to keep it stable and used a large adjustable wrench (half moon) on the large…
