That way all RTV gets pushed to the outside of the engine when the balancer goes on. First spray down good with carb cleaner and dry good or RTV won't stick.
can you check and see how flush yours sits? This is as far as mine seems to be going? I think it might be spinning the crank.

I think it looks fine, but you won't really know until you put the bolt back in (should have way more than a few turns to tight) and the pulley/belt put back on. Make sure the crank pulley / belt lines up good with the P/S pump and you should be golden. You can run it for a little bit and then tighten the bolt again to be sure. Looks like good work if you now have a install tool threaded into the bolt hole!

Yes! I sent a tap in there and removed the broken threads! Here's a picture of the water pump lined up what do you think?
