Harmonic Balancer?

[tom4bren]

So he was right & was crankin on the HB (#1 in your image). But it should be noted that the image shows the breaker on what looks like a tensioner pully (#3).

Before you continue to try to manually turn your engine - why is it seized? Did it sieze because something broke deep down inside or did you replace the timing belt & now it won't turn? Either way, it's not a good idea to force it to turn. Remember that our engine is an interference engine so if you have a valve open & the piston reaches top dead center - DAMAGE!!!

That's why I put a circle AND arrow to indicate the crank/HB...

I was wrong when I posted yesterday the 6VE1 was an Interference engine. I've checked with about a dozen engine publications online and they all agree concur it is a NON INTERFERENCE engine (most older Isuzu's were interference), except this site: http://autorepair.about.com/cs/doity...ming_belt3.htm [QUOTE]

Where did you get this info?
I've read in many previous posts that the 6VE1 is non-interference...

I'm not sayin' you're wrong, I would just like to know the source, for my own piece of mind.

Thank you - thank you - thank you Larry for pointing out that I'm WRONG. Yes, that comment is dripping with sarcasm.

Actually in my defense, I was quoting you on the interference thing.

I'm a HUGE fan of sarcasm too.

Dood you're taking this way too seriously...

But I'm glad you put a smiley after that anyway...

Please produce the quote you're referencing...I can eat crow with the best of em', & am given the opprotunity on a regular basis.

Naw - that'd be too much work. I'll just take the fall on this one.

All,

I was wrong, Dub was right

I feel all better now.

BTW - I never take myself too seriously - neither should you.
