Please note that the PICTURE UPLOAD function is not working. The iBoats Forum Moderators are working with the system administration folks at the parent company to get the issue resolved. This happened about a year ago and here we are again. In the meantime you can post photos as links to a picture hosting site of your choice. We are sorry about the inconvenience and will advise when the issue is resolved. Thank you for your patience.
In the op's first post the photo shows the bolt securing the balancer to the crankshaft is through the insert. Makes me wonder if this is an offset washer used to gain clearance for the pump assembly, which is bolted on as a drive pulley would be.
