Two of my three drill/tap guide kits have found their way home, and the other one is supposed to be on the way. They include an installation tool. If you choose to do a drill and tap job on the crankshaft, DO NOT try to use the center bolt to pull the balancer on- - - -you'll strip the thread. The thread should be used to bolt the installation tool onto the end of the crankshaft, and the big thread on the installer takes the thrust. Using a little plain old motor oil on the crank snout is all that's needed for lube, but be sure to file or sand away any high spots or burrs on the mating surfaces first. Once the balancer is on, you can put a center bolt and a big washer into the hole with a little blue LocTite on the thread, or just use the press fit to keep it on- - - -your choice. Millions of stovebolts and early V-8's ran hundreds of millions of miles without the balancer being bolted on. Once half a dozen accessories started getting driven by the balancer, then the engineers put a center bolt in the end of the crank.
I've had some really bad experiences with loaning out my drill/tap/installer kits, so if anybody else wants to borrow one the deposit is going to be a lot more, and there's going to be a time limit on its use. I've got four of the kits made up now, so if anybody's interested, drop me a PM or an email.
