I fixed the oil leak in the Suburban. Last fall I put a 235 balancer on it. Worked fine but the pulley was larger and turned my water pump and alternator faster. Also it started leaking oil from the front after I changed it.

I cleaned up a 248 balancer and put a speedy sleeve on it. I changed it out today and found out that ol' boy didn't tighten the bolts on the timing gear cover. No wonder it was leaking oil.

All back together now with tight bolts and 248 balancer.
