Locating lip on crank pulley not fitting damper
This is a new one for me. Anyone else ever have this issue? I"m tempted to just mill the lip off, but anyway, the crank pulley won't sit flush with the face of the damper because the lip is just a hair to big to fit inside the hole of the damper.
I don't have a big enough drill but to fix the damper, and I'm not interested in pulling it back off

Re: Locating lip on crank pulley not fitting damper
I had this issue after an engine rebuild. The asswipe that installed the balancer "pressed" it on with a hammer and mushroomed the edges in so that the pulley lip would not seat in. To repair, I painstakingly filed the balancer hole (after the engine was installed in the car) until it would seat flush. I'm getting all pissed off again just thinking about it.

I guess I'll go over it with a dremel or something.
