Ok, we got the other half of the balancer out and will take some photos. My issue is I don't know how the two halves fit together to be balanced, so I guess I am looking at a new one.
We are also not able to get the Woodruff key out. Don't want to mar the end of the crank and don't want to mess up the key. Is there a technique for this? I guess all the ones I am used to were too loose as this one is in there tight.
Well, we will have the head off in a few hours. I forgot to send this and now the head is off. Damage to the chain tensioner and rail was astounding and there was a residue of ground aluminum settled in all the head bolt and other socket headed capscrews.
Photos in a minute. Jim
