Working on your LS or LT engine build and worried about that crankshaft balancer slipping under high RPMs? You're right to be concerned – a slipping balancer can lead to catastrophic engine failure at the worst possible moment. This specialized crank pinning fixture gives you the confidence to build right, ensuring your crankshaft and balancer stay perfectly aligned even with superchargers or big horsepower builds.
When you're running serious power through your LS or LT engine, the friction between the crankshaft and balancer simply isn't enough. Under high torque and RPM, the balancer can start to spin independently of the crankshaft, throwing off your timing and potentially destroying your engine. This pinning fixture creates a mechanical connection that prevents this dangerous slippage, giving you peace of mind whether you're on the track or the street.
Manufactured from high-quality carbon steel and powder-coated for rust resistance, this tool is built to handle the demands of professional engine builders. The precision-machined threads ensure a tight, secure fit every time, while the hardened drill guide maintains perfect alignment during drilling. You'll be able to create perfectly centered pinholes that lock your crankshaft and balancer together permanently.
The CPK10SS kit includes everything you need for a professional installation: a steel drill guide, securing bolt, high-quality drill bit, and two hardened 1/4" diameter roll pins. Whether you're working on an LS1, LS3, LT1, LQ4, LQ9, or any other Gen 3-5 engine, this tool has you covered. It's especially essential for supercharged applications where the added torque really puts the connection to the test.
Stop worrying about your crankshaft balancer slipping and start building with confidence. This isn't just another tool – it's insurance for your engine investment. Professional engine builders have been using this method for years to prevent exactly the kind of failures that can cost thousands in repairs and downtime.
