Balancer hub

Balancer hub
Looks like I need a new balancer hub for my '93 LT 1. M6. Because of oil leak at the seal.
Still has opti, stock except for cam and some bolt ons..
Cannot find one, can they be machined and a larger seal be installed?
Any suggestions are appreciated.

Re: Balancer hub
You can buy a hub. For example
https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo...035852&jsn=514
They also make "speedy sleeves" for them but just get a new hub if it is scored from the seal
Crank hub leak is not that common. Typically the WP drive seal leaks and oil drips down TC making it appear to be from crank
The Felpro TC gasket/seal kit has all the seals you will need for about $12
Use the correct puller/install tool or a home made version of one to get hub on & off

The damper/pulley hub changed in 1996 LT1's. They made is shorter so the crankshaft position reluctor could fit behind it. Make sure you get the longer one for 93-95.

Re: Balancer hub
the link I posted from rock auto was for a 93....but the note in description says "short" which may mean it is for the 96 that uses a reluctor wheel for CPS
A new correct hub should be available if it is not the part # RA lists
Parts Geek shows the same part # as RA does...FWIW

Re: Balancer hub
Probably worth posting on the “Parts Wanted” forum inthe Marketplace. And checking “Parts for Sale”.
