Do I need to pull the harmonic balancer off of the old engine to put it on the new one to do this? | | |

Use a bolt short enough it won't bottom in the hole, and use a large washer to protect the crank.

I was going to try that last night, but didn't have the right size bolt. Do you know what size the bolt should be? | | |
