Wear marks on crankshaft snout

[ak diesel driver]

Anyone know what the mark on the OEM balancer is? Hopefully it's not 0*

First impressions are good . Quite a bit smoother at idle seems smoother all the way to redline. It went on just like all the others I've installed perfect world would be 1/2" longer bolt.

The mark is TDC.....

According to the guy at the local machine shop it's 0* hopefully hasn't fatigued the crank to much.

Thanks for the reply SC. Confirmed outer ring movement.

So sitting and thinking about this do you suppose the outer ring is 0 balance? It would make sense from a manufacturing standpoint.

This old dog learned something new today. I always understood that an interference fit was different than a press fit. Not so according to Wikipedia. Here's a pic of the installation card that came with the balancer.

Many a cranks been ruined because someone used a bolt.. the tool is cheaper to me...
