i know, i was happy to find the problem, but scared to know what it was. that would have made for BIG problems if it came all the way out.

It's worth the reassurance that you won't have a 10lb balancer flying off at 6000rpm taking out everything in it's path.

THAT would be quite a bit.

PIN IT!!!!!

Make sure you use a new bolt after you pin the crank. Those bolts are TTY.

I lost my crank bolt at the track.. I am lucky it was pinned. I made at least 1 track pass with no crank bolt shifting at 6500rpm. The crank was pinned and I think that is the only thing that prevented major carnage.

I solved this problem on my truck by replacing the blower with a turbo
