My dad had a saying that I have never forgotten...... he used to say “use the right tool for the job, but start with the one on top of your shoulders”. He definitely taught me to think things through before diving in!!
I have the installer so I used it. I saw videos of people using a 2x4 and a hammer to install them and i cringed.
You said it was smoother . How much smoother .My motor has a high vibration . You have me thinking of getting one to replace my 30 yr old oneI have the installer so I used it. I saw videos of people using a 2x4 and a hammer to install them and i cringed.
Balancers were really never meant to be ran for anywhere near that amount of time. I'd replace that ASAP.You said it was smoother . How much smoother .My motor has a high vibration . You have me thinking of getting one to replace my 30 yr old one

Mine just started leaking coolant today.I just looked through my Ford Mustang service manual (actual Ford manual) and it says to apply silicone sealant to the keyway as well.
By out of round do you mean that it wobbles?I have a small , but heavy feeling vibration thru my car, When I rev the engine , and when I get on it. When I say heavy also could be considered small but sharp. I have an old balancer. Looks ok I guess , but it seems out of round because of that weight on the side. I have I list of things I want , but a budget for one thing. I dont want a destroyed bottom end. What do you think the possibility is that the balancer is the problem. Using this older post because we dont need any more.
No, definitely don’t drive it before replacing the balancer. Unless you like your mains getting hammered on.I just put my finger on side of the f...kn thing and its off one eighth of an inch. It wobbles , so whats the story. Dont drive it. Sounds like a stupid question , but how does the ring get bent could be off quarter inch... Drive or no drive
What's up Kurt I asked you just inbox you on messenger a question about the power bond. I definitely want to make sure I get the right one and the pb1060 SS there's no verbiage on summit even when I was on the phone with them as to whether that's solely a fox or it will work on the 94-95. Also I need a 28 Oz by the way which it is.Everyone I have spoken too tells me that the elastomer balancers are actually better than the fluid filled ones. It is honestly more complicated than I understand. There are two types of vibrations. In a Small Block Ford, one out weighs the other, and the elastomer balancer dampens it better.
On high revving race engines, the fluid one has some advantages. Keep in mind, we are talking about race cars that operate between 7000 and 9000 rpms. So if you don't have an expensive 4 bolt main block, the fluid balancer is not going to help you.

What's going on man yeah doing a little research yesterday and talking to some guys on the FB groups the pulley is further out on the fox than it is with the sn95. The smaller the OD damper you get as and it seems if you get something no more than around a 6.4 you will not have a problem with one of the water pump bolts. Guys have shaved a little bit off the water pump bolt I think only and not the water pump itself if you go with something around a 6.5. I like the power bonds but I'm not finding a 28 Oz that's smaller than a 6.5 so I'm going to call them on Monday but if not I'll probably just go with a professional products SFI rated that's around 207 and then the adapter that I will need is about 20 something bucks. That's about the price of the power bonds and the power bond has the built-in adapter so you don't need in another adapter that will put the pulley in the right orientation.ATI are not fluid dampers.

I believe that the only difference between the Fox and 94/95 cars is the crank pulley. Hopefully someone else more knowable on the difference can chime in.
