Bent crank snout.

If the crank seal isn't leaking. I say that the dampener is bent.

Correct.

Crank seal was not leaking and the new pulley is still wobbling…

I know hopefully he’s alright he’s gone off in my other comments

Correct.

Factory defect? Engine dropped when installing it? How did it get bent?

Perhaps a long breaker bar trying to loosen a stuck crank bolt.

If that was the case, it would have been much less expensive to buy an impact wrench.

A long breaker bar (or a long piece of pipe) would be better than a short one, less force required to create torque. A short one might require someone to jump on it. I really like my impact wrenches.

You know that’s a great question I would love the answer to… I had the head gaskets done under warranty and my warranty just expired perhaps it happened then but I had my head gaskets done under warranty… could’ve been caused by detonation.

It would take a looootttttt of force to bend a crank trying to get a bolt out id imagine the head would snap first but no I think it was because my motor was previously detonating

I love my Milwaukee impacts and they go straight on the company card lol I wouldn’t have gotten in this mess without one
