Hi there,
I am in the process of rebuilding a Ford 801 diesel engine. My father had spun a bearing due to lack of oil and we are just trying to get it back in the field. We had the crank rod journals turned I believe .20 under and trued up the rods. I have put the motor back together and am at the point of putting on the crank balancer... I have never seen anything like this on an engine before and I'm not sure how to install it? does it need to be set at a specific spot on the gear? or is everything already balanced? Also I noticed that the machine shop had taken a few chunks out of the counter weights and drilled a few holes... Did they need to balance the crank with this balancer? do I still even need it? I have read a few posts about these balancers and now I am worried that I shold not have allowed the crank to be balanced?
Any help or information that could help me get this tractot back up and running would be very appreciated.
