LT-1 crank press on hub
Not to get into why. But my front crank hub was turned down and it's not a true press on fitting And to top it off the original sae threads in the crank was messed up and now it's the next size up in metric. A metric bolt will draw down and get tight. By only having that hub only bolted down using red loctight Will this cause a issue. Or will I have to get anther hub and carefully press it back on And it seems I only found this hub used. Can it be bought new? Any insight is welcome

Wait a second....in THIS THREAD, You were complaining about how tight a fit your balancer was. What is going on?
IF your balancer is truly loose, I have used red Loctite on Subaru's that have worbled the crank and they have worked O.K.
