1004ron Posted January 10, 2021 Report Share Posted January 10, 2021 (edited) Not sure if you tried the forum search feature. Note the comment about not hammering the balancer back on - it will damage the crank thrust bearings.

Vanrebl Posted January 10, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2021 (edited) 1004ron, thanks for your reply i will rent a tool to install it from the auto parts store so i wont need to heat it up or anything it will press it on .... just wasn't sure if the timing would be off if it wasn't in the exact right position, because of timing sensor ......it does matter doesnt it?

This model, unlike some Fords, the crank position tone wheel isn't part of the harmonic balancer. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanrebl Posted January 10, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2021 ok ....thank you for your help....i was worried i was going to put it on in the wrong position and throw it out of time and trash my motor ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EDST777 Posted June 13, 2021 Report Share Posted June 13, 2021 thus, the pulley is installed in any position relative to the crankshaft, as far as it will go to the seat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
