ARP LSx balancer bolt question
I've searched high and low and I can't find the head size of the ARP balancer bolt. I think it's 27mm 12 pt, but it could be 28mm.
Anybody know off the top or have one handy they can check? I'd appreciate it LOTS!

1.0625 x 25.4 = 26.9875mm ~ 27mm
So, you're basically correct.

Thanks guys!
Reason I needed this info is that I'm going to try and fashion a tool to tighten my balancer bolt without pulling the rack. It has backed out. Again. For the 3rd time. The proper fix would probably be to pin the crank as the balancer is probably spinning and causing the bolt to loosen. Not much can break loose 220+ ft/lbs and red loctite. Anyway, I don't have the time or $$$ to pin it right now :-/
