LEAKS (4 of 7)
Next I cleaned the balancer sealing surface and pressed the repair sleeve on over a thin coat of JB Weld. After letting it set overnight, I oiled the sleeve and installed the balancer. On the balancer’s circumference, I painted on timing marks at the 90 degree points and at 36 BTDC for future tuning reference.
I put all the accessories back on, filled it with oil and water, started it up, and let it run a bit. I saw some oil weeping from the location of the timing cover seal but it turned out to be residue from the prelube.
