The timing mark could not be seen at the tab with it on this far either. I have normally seen the end of the balancer out just a tad so that you can see the mark in the notches. Is it permissible to pull the balancer back out a 1/4"? Its not a bolt on balancer.

Thanks for any help you can give me on this.

I'm all in on this subject
I have run into this before from time to time...

Not advisable to pull the harmonic ballancer out that far

I know how I would solve it ...longer bolts and a shim plate behind the harmonic pully
