Last night i pull into my drive way hit the gas pedal a little and the balancer flies off. I got looking and the bolt has been broken off(I think since i have owned my car) The balancer has been cracked on the key way for a while it looks like. But what I want to know is the crank screwed? the key way looks not bad and there are no visible scores on the crank. So how will I know if something is screwed up.

 

yeah i had similar experience except mine was stuck ON with red locktite, turned out the guy before me put a HEAD BOLT in the crank of course we couldnt get all of the bolt and just put red locktite on it this sucked!!!

Digger,

You'll know if the crank is "screwed" when you mic it or try to install a new balancer hub.
