Made from quality steel and supplied with threaded rod ends, a nut, washers and a thrust bearing, the kit supports both small block (SBC) and big block (BBC) Chevrolet engines that use 5\/8-16 or 7\/16-16 crank threads. Its straightforward screw-in design turns the pressing job into a controlled, low-force operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the GEAROLL installer protect the crank and balancer during fitment?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe installer converts the press fit into a threaded pulling action so the balancer is drawn evenly onto the crankshaft.
