...shim the balancer out? Here's my situation:
I'm setting up this engine to use a 36-1 crank trigger and (probably) a Ford EDIS ignition controlled by my Megasquirt box.
The PROBLEM is that the way the 36-1 tooth wheel is bolted onto the <span style="font-style: italic">back </span> of the balancer it is going to rub on the timing cover.
The SOLUTION seems to be to make a shim or spacer to go against the oil slinger and shim out the balancer <span style="font-style: italic"><span style="font-weight: bold">just enough </span></span>to get clearance to the timing cover. We're talking about .125" or less.
Anyone see a problem with this??
