Default TCI Rattler balancer?

Is anyone running the Rattler balancer? If so how did it fit? Any problems with pulley fitment or alignment? Any problems with the balancer in general?

Does it have the Pontiac style pulley bolt pattern or is the Chevy style?

I have had two of them and one was honed out to allow a slip fit on the crank snout. Most are a press fit. Chebby pattern as was said.

Stack up for pulleys was close to the other aftermarket balancers but not the factory part.

used a master cyl hone on mine. the moldex crank snout was alittle on the high side also.....
take the crank key or keys out, when honing and checking, for a nice fit.
