DOING THE LS CRANK STAND
Since the new LS motors all have reluctor rings, my son and I figured out a relatively easy way to stabilize our cranks when we are installing the reluctor ring to the crank. We honed out a junk harmonic balancer to use as a stand for reluctor ring installation. It keeps the crank stable while we are working with the heated reluctor ring. We also use other junk harmonic balancers to fit our other pressed cranks. It keeps the crank stable and allows us to complete the task without trying to balance the crank on its own.
