Installing Harmonic Balancer with no thread in crank on OMC

[tdwaters]

How hot can you get a new hamonic balancer without damaging rubber insert? My Crank is 1.25" and new balancer seems to have about 0.003 press. I tried heating the old balancer up to 300F and it would not tap on. If I pull the crank I guess I have to install part in press with tiing gear cover in between?

You got the wrong forum. Try inboard engine forum. This J/E outboard.

You never tap a balancer on....
