Thanks NPD732! Appreciate it.

Oh, also, while we're at it. Where can I get the seal, bolt and washer. They all went flying!!! The harmonic balancer got wedged in the radiator and tangled in all the belts (thank god) so I still have it. Thanks for your help!

I will have to re-cut the woodruff key seat into the crankshaft, it got all torn up and I am filling the old one. Any ideas how I can find out the size? The old seat is totally ruined. I can't find this info in the manuals anywhere? I don't have the time or money to pull the engine out to swap...

that is the 'only' problem. I talked to a friend with a lift and we're gonna take out the engine and see what we can do before we take the whole crank out.

so here she is! really messed up. Any ideas?

Thanks for the info. What am I looking at price wise for the new balancer and the hold down bolt? What is expected in terms of labour? I just dropped a ton of money on a new starter and try to do this on the cheap/myself. Thanks

in the photo you can see the belt thing and how it came out of the engine, I was able to push it back in but am not certain how to tighten it again. Thanks for any help! cheers

Help needed with M1009 CUCV question. I have a 1984 blazer K5 and the part where the belts are fed from the engine came out, how is it attached to the rod? is it a long bolt that came loose and fell out?
