Default Question about L79 Crank
Were the snouts drilled and tapped to hold on the Harmonic Balancer or pressed on?

High performance engines like the L-79 had the bolt in the end of the crank. Base engines had the harmonic balancer pressed on.

Yes, all were pressed on, some were also bolted.

The L79 was a bolted also type.
