Re: balancer bolt

21mm is huge. I'm pretty sure on my 95, it was 5/8. That doesn't make sense.

agreed, the thread is 7/16-20, and the standard size head for that thread is 5/8, so, either him and us are talking about different hexes, or ??????

Re: balancer bolt

I know LS1s have pretty large balancer bolts. I don't even see a 21mm bolt fitting into the hub very easily.

Re: balancer bolt

Re: balancer bolt

If it's an aftermarket bolt, then how do the threads fit the crank? Just a huge bolt head and a normal 7/16-20 shaft?
