I am putting my motor back together after correcting a water pump issue. Can I get some opinion on if my Balancer is seated completely. I can't line up my pullies bc I don't have an alt bracket yet and I'm running a electric water pump. After installed it I physically couldn't move it anymore.

Do yourself a favor and go to any of the three major parts store chains and get this: https://www.powerbuilt.com/products...it-64?variant=39407480708#JysyOvQBqsxudC60.97 from their loaner tools section (usually behind the counter, you'll have to ask for it, and hope you don't get the store's jackass). This will allow you to easily install the balancer all the way without risking pulling the threads out of the crank (which can happen using the balancer bolt) or damaging the balancer or the thrust bearing in the engine (which can happen when hammering it on).
