crank pulley bolt holes stripped

i noticed my crank pulley was very wobbly. when i took off the fan and tried to tighten the three pulley bolts, they would just turn. could i rethread the bolt holes and use some new bolts?

Sorry Charlie, get a new damper and new bolts. Don't screw around here, you'll be sorry if the ballancer takes a hike out thru the rad and condenser at 5 grand. Been there.

Yep. The balancer is cheap enough, don't take the chance on it.

You should be able to pick one up at your local GM dealer reasonably. About $50 if I remember right. It's worth a phone call anyway.
