That's a reasonable price.

I paid $184.23 CAD + shipping for a Cloyes 93137 kit in March 2017.

And since I don't want to pay twice, I jumped a couple of years ahead.
More details later on!

I was just fishing for feedback before smashing the PAY NOW button for 2 of them.

Hey, don't want to scare you but your crank has some welded discs on it.

Yes, that’s Mallory. It’s used to balance rotating assemblies. I took weight from the outer perimeter of the counter weights and relocated that weight towards the center axis of rotation. The entire rotating assembly is balanced.

Yeah, there's a lot of work into balancing that piece.

I guess the 7x reluctor means that's an LX9 crank? Looks like the cast one. Didn't GM make a few forged cranks for that engine?
La fiera NOV 10, 10:09 AM
That's a regular 3.4L crank. The difference is that I reduced its outer perimeter thus relocating the weightmore towards the center were that same weight will spin at a slower rate.
It also needed a bit more Mallory to balance the beefier rods and forged pistons.

You cut an oil groove in the main bearing journal?

I don't remember the stock crank having that.

No, that's an illusion due to oil in the groove of the bearing and as I spun it a trace of oil gets on the crank.
