ATI Balencer removal

No problem and it is good that ATI shows that spec sheet on balancer to crank fit specs.

For years and years we just put them on and never measured anything. Had many instances like Keith is having.

I can tell you for sure that press fit when too much can be a disaster..

I pressed many pistons on rods as we did not use heat. If you went beyond about .001 press on a steel rod with a cast piston you were in the danger zone.....

Heating the rod is a much better way to do that operation.....
I have heated up balancers to try and make it easier.....aluminum mostly...
