So now that I have my rear seal straightened out, I'm finally putting the 235 back together. Crank is in, cam is in, front cover is in. But when I put the harmonic balancer on it only goes on part way, I think. Not sure how far on it goes. There is about a 1" gap between the back of the balancer and the fro9nt edge of the front cover plate (where the front motor mount is attached). And the end of the crank shaft is about an inch or so down inside the cneter of the balancer. Is this right? I used an 8 pound hammer and a block of wood, but I can't seem to get it to go on any farther. Any help, ideas?

I am currently digging back in to a 1953 3800 (one ton) with a nine foot bed. I've owned it since 1979, and drove it until 1982 (or so). My wife got me involved in restoring it back in 2002, got the body removed and the frame redone, then things came up. Now I am retired and starting again. If anyone is interested I have photos on Imagur (
