Can't find a bolt for harmonic balancer...
 

I have an 88 S-10 Blazer 4x4 2.8L

Long story short:

Shame on me- I let the wrong guy replace my timing chain. Shortly after, the serpentine
belt began slipping off. I got someone else to look at it and they said the guy put the wrong
bolt back in the harmonic balancer pulley- FORCED it in- mushrooming the washers and putting
the belt off enough so that it continues to slip off the bottom pulley.

I've been to parts stores, dealers... no one seems to know where I can get one.
Any tips?

have you tried a salvage yard?

Yes, but no luck so far...

Whats your addy? I have one sitting in my shop floor right now, been cleaned then I misplaced it so I got the one off my spare engine then found the dang thing.


Just hope they didn't screw up the threads in the crank nose. Something sounds fishy tho. There are 4 bolts that hold the pulley to the balancer and the one big bolt used to hold the assembly (with a key on the crank snout) to the crankshalf.

yea where ya from? my buddy might have a 2.8 sitting in the garage not sure if he still has it or not.

PM sent. Looking for the big center bolt btw.

I'll try to get it out first chance. Work has me pretty busy during the day and normally don't get off until after the post office closes. We going out tomorrow for luch so I might be able to sneak off and get it out.

You ever get that bolt and washer?
