You need to get a stock Harmonic Balancer. I believe that aftermarket lightweight crank pulley may have contributed to your main bearings failing so badly.

Well yesterday I painted my engine bay black to match the car and boy does it finally look better. anyways here are the pics.
and today i was just laying around the house so decided to give the car a little love so today's project was to fix the hole in my bumper.
So i ran up to the local autozone and picked up a fiberglass bondo kit for like $12. After i got went to town on the spot first by cutting out the piece of plastic that was in the foam which was making the hole. Once that was removed I took some 100 grit paper and went to town for a good hour getting it all sanded down, then finished the surface with some 320 grit.
With it being sanded and ready to go I went and mixed up the epoxy and started to put it on the bumper so that the fiberglass mat could be applied. Well apparently I mixed to much hardener and with the heat out side the epoxy hardened before I could get the fiberglass on. :3d_frown:
So I had to spend the time to scrap it all off then sand it back down and try it again. Luckily though it filled in that hole which made it easier!!
Well the second time i tried it I got the mixture just right and got everything done and on there just in time.
Then I sanded it down and put a small coat on to fill in the imperfections and did this about to or three times.
So here's what the final outcome looks like:
Anyways sorry for the length of the post I'm kinda proud how well this turned out
All in all this took me a good 5 hrs to complete. Enjoy guys
