Longer blots will not throw off the balancer. You can use header bolts if you have some laying around. The small head makes them ideal for any pulley size.grippper said:bump. im stuck at this point. untill i find out if longer bolts will throw off the balancer, or can i just go to the hardwarestore and get longer ones.

HISSIN50 said:a lot of guys use home store allen head bolts for U/D pulleys, and they seem to be alright. looks like Chris took the same approach and he knows a thing or two about wrenching.
i figured as much - you've got good stuff to say. dont feel bad - i tend to read the original posts before opening the window (hold the cursor over the thread). the other day i opened 2 carb question threads at the same sitting. i did not re-read the first thread and posted the most horrible, incorrect answer you could imagine (it would have been a good answer for the 'other' carb thread). made me feel like a dummy. Michael overlooked my response and was nice enough not to call me on a horrible post. i did figure it out and explain.Daggar said:You're right Hiss... again I misread and had "balancer" in mind and not pulley.
HISSIN50 said:PS, Daggar, i just re-read what i posted above, and i think it could be taken the wrong way. when i said that Chris knows what is up, it was in no way saying you dont (i was not sure if you took it that way - i never even realized it read like that till now). but Chris does have a sweet car with severe mods, and i trust what he says - that was my point. it was in no way directed at you. sorry about that
