I know on a stock 5.0 there is a 50 oz balancer, but now I need to know which way to put it on! I dont want to put the flywheel and it be all out of balance. the only kinda marker I see is a extra hole on the back of the crank. Do I put the extra weight on that side?

The flkywheel only goes on one way. Keep turning it until all the bolt holes line up. Use loctite on the threads and tq to 80-90 ft/lbs.

I'm pretty sure the torque spec calls for 75-85 lb ft. I've never used any loctite on the bolts though. I would use it on the driveshaft bolts though. I lost a couple bolts once (faulty torque wrench), and I was worried sick that I screwed something up.
