So I finally got to pull the front of my motor of and aside from the massive amount of oil that had already stained the ground from just sitting overnight I pulled my balancer off to find this beauty broken like half dome thus finalizing the balancer being the issue with my belt squeaking and wobbling. There was no sign of the Woodruff key and no front seal for my timing cover so off to Napa I went to grab some parts and Autozone doesn't stock anymore (btw since when do they NOT stock small block chevy parts it makes me wanna just shake a baby at their incompetence) end rant. We also picked up some JB weld to fill in the area that was worn away from the old key wobbling (yes I know I'm gonna get crap on that one but my new motor builder advised this was the way to go without pulling the motor apart for a new crank) So I'll be off to finish the job either today or tomorrow being as the JB Weld needed time to mold so I will post pictures of the finished project afterwards.
