DaEvil Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Hey it's been a while since I posted anything but I was hoping to get some help . I finally wore out my LS1 so I pulled it and had it rebuilt along with the tranny . So I go and install it and I happen to see its now hitting on steering . The Harmonic balancer is just hitting it !! but its rubbing I tried to lower the tranny but it didn't help . I am using the old John's kit . Everything it the same . Please chime in on how to fix it or what might have changed I'm baffled. Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trackzpeed Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 That’s pretty odd. I’m not to familiar with johns kit but can’t you shim the mounts and raise the front a bit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1969honda Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Did you change balancers? Some aftermarket ones are larger in diameter than others? Or change engine mounts? If not then shim the mounts as suggested? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaEvil Posted January 17, 2018 Author Share Posted January 17, 2018 Same balancer and mounts . I was looking at shims but not wanting to pull the motor right this moment I was looking into changing the balancer to a truck style it sticks out quite a bit more .

RebekahsZ Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 (edited) My engine came from the junkyard with an under-drive pulley. Edited January 17, 2018 by RebekahsZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaEvil Posted January 18, 2018 Author Share Posted January 18, 2018 So I bit the bullet and shimmed the hardest side to access about 1/8 ". That was enough to give me the the clearance I needed . Thanks for the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
