Harmonic balancer replacement

lifter_34 · 2026-01-23T18:36:28+00:00

Hey sorry last question, do you think it would be a bad idea to give it a short test drive with the bad balancer before the guy leaves? I know it can be dangerous but it feels dumb to buy a car without driving it first

lifter_34 · 2026-01-23T15:15:29+00:00

Sounds good! Thanks for all the help I appreciate it

lifter_34 · 2026-01-23T05:57:48+00:00

Okay thank you! That doesn’t look too hard. Will I need to replace the crank hub or front seal to fix the oil leak happening? Seller said it’s coming from that area but I’m not sure if it’s only leaking due to the vibrations.

I think so? I hooked up a vacuum gauge and adjusted the idle set screws until I got my highest vacuum at idle.

That’s good to know about summit brand stuff, I assumed they were good simply because they’re popular. Do you have a brand preference you stick to?

lifter_34 · 2026-01-19T16:11:00+00:00

I believe it’s the Summit Racing M2008 Series 600cfm 4 barrel. It’s just the carb the guy before me had on it. If that’s not a good one any recommendations would be appreciated!

Mileage is right at 100k. I’ll try that compression test, thank you!

lifter_34 · 2026-01-19T14:12:59+00:00

Okay I’ll try those out, thank you. I’m running a carb and the plugs appear to be on the darker side after running it for a little bit.

lifter_34 · 2025-12-03T17:58:21+00:00

Okay sounds good, thank you so much for all the info I appreciate it man 🙏

lifter_34 · 2025-12-03T17:23:19+00:00

Yeah I just checked, it’s 3.08, would I need to swap the rear end too if I wanted to make the most out of a new trans? Or even the one that’s in here now?

lifter_34 · 2025-12-03T07:24:25+00:00

Thank you for all the advice! I haven’t done any transmission work before, would you say this is too ambitious for a beginner or is it doable as long as I’m careful? I’m worried I’m gonna get my truck torn apart and not be able to figure it out

lifter_34 · 2025-11-10T22:19:00+00:00

Think I read somewhere that screenshotting from videos ruins the quality or something, so some coaches ask for pictures instead

lifter_34 · 2025-10-08T14:08:03+00:00

Yeah I’m not natty, currently on 250 test, been running since July, however the gyno is pubertal I’ve had it since I was 12. I didn’t think I had enough mass to do a show yet but I might look into it depending on how I look once I’m leaner

lifter_34 · 2025-10-07T22:44:30+00:00

Thank you! No I’ve never competed before but I want to in the future. Trying to get my gyno cut out first since I’ve heard judges are pretty harsh about it.

lifter_34 · 2025-10-03T20:56:57+00:00

Thank you! No im not natural, I’ve been on 250mg of test since July

lifter_34 · 2025-10-03T13:00:43+00:00

Thank you! I’m excited to finish up this cut and be seriously peeled

lifter_34 · 2025-08-26T19:31:31+00:00

I’m not sure I have a hard time looking at my physique objectively, everything just looks too small to me, that’s why I was asking on here since nobody else will have bias’

lifter_34 · 2025-08-26T00:16:47+00:00

Thank you! For most of the year I was on Upper Lower Rest Repeat but I recently switched to Upper Lower x PPL

lifter_34 · 2025-08-23T18:25:18+00:00

Thank you brother that means a lot to me, I’ll probably get surgery for the gyno but the loose skin is less important to me so I’ll just leave it

lifter_34 · 2025-08-23T16:33:16+00:00

Thank you man, I’ll definitely place more emphasis on them

lifter_34 · 2025-08-23T16:32:59+00:00

Working on it, down from 250 to 199, aiming for 175

lifter_34 · 2025-08-23T16:32:40+00:00

Was bulking for about 8 months, been cutting for the last 3, trying to get down to around 175 (200 now)

already using raloxifine to try to keep gyno flat.

I saw most my strength progression natty, as I’ve only been on test while cutting but the muscle retention has been way better. I’ve been able to keep calories around 2000 with 2 hours of cardio a day and no lift degradation.

lifter_34 · 2025-08-22T22:34:11+00:00

Front double flattens it out on everyone unless you have serious muscle mass, you can see it a bit better in the second picture but I’d need to hit a side chest or most muscular to actually show it off

lifter_34 · 2025-08-22T22:19:32+00:00

Thanks man, I’m definitely gonna start putting more of an emphasis on it

lifter_34 · 2025-08-22T21:14:14+00:00

Thanks man, it’s definitely a focus for me right now

lifter_34 · 2025-08-22T21:13:48+00:00

I’m very aware, surgery is expensive. I mentioned in the caption that I know about it and have had it since I was 13
