If the keyway isn't worn where the balancer can rotate back and forth, just drill and tap the crankshaft snout for the same 7/16-20 center bolt and washer that's used on the 1970-up small block V8 engine. A worn key slot in the balancer requires a new balancer, or another key slot can be broached in the old one. A worn Woodruff key slot in the crankshaft can be welded and re-cut by a good machine shop, but it's an expensive fix that requires a full teardown of the engine. Jerry
