Hello,
I just got done installing a new harmonic balancer on my 1998 Cherokee. The old one was warn out after 200k miles. I rented an install tool from Autozone and tightened the balancer down as tight as I dare try. I found a thread on here where others said they had 1-2mm of space from the edge of the balancer to the lip on the crank snout. I was able to torque the balancer bolt to 80ftlb without issues. I think I will be okay as the balancer is pretty close to front cover but I want some second opinions.

Does my Harmonic Balancer look right?
