The balancer does not control mechanical timing if you tighten it down without lining it up correctly it will only effect ignition timing.
@chrisdavis95568 ай бұрын
there is no line up pin . the motor will spin and yes mechanical timing will be off.

Hey, i am pretty mechanically inclined but I've never messed with timing in anyway. I have a 2.0 duratec focus and im pretty sure i have a bad harmonic balancer. Its kinda wobbly, and im getting an engine "whine". Anyways, i cant find any videos on my specific model to replace just the crank pulley. But, i have found a bunch on changing the timing chain. Do you think i could use those videos on timing chains as kind of a guide to change the crank pulley without messing up timing? Thank you.

You really have to ensure the cams are in the correct location .Use cam alignment bar it will only fit one way.That bolt will slide threw the damper and screw into the block with the cams in the wrong location .
