BALANCER HUB SEAL TOOL
Here’s a trick to help center the timing cover crankshaft seal, when the timing cover or block has no dowel pins, or the dowel holes do not fit snug on the pins. Take an old damper and hone the center so that it is now a slip fit onto the crank snout. Use it to hold the cover in place while tightening the bolts. Then simply slide the damper back off. I use an old aluminum crank hub for big block Chevy’s, which is lightweight and easy to handle. I save other hubs from balancers that have come apart.
