Dodge is making good on the Balancer any tips.

[01 Sapphire RT/10]

The balancer and pulley fell of. When it loosened up it tore up the end of the crank. The engine crate is ordered and the motor will be pulled at the Dealer. Arrow is tearing down the motor, inspecting and rebuilding. I know I will ask them to pin the balancer. Is there any other things that should be done. This might be an opportunity to turn this disaster into more power.
Thanks for any input,
Dave

I would make arrangements with someone to port the cylinder heads while you have them off. It also might be a good time for a cam change. Instead of putting the stock exhaust back on it would be a good time to install headers. New rockers are supposed to be good for around 20 HP. Some people might suggest changing to the forged pistons. Now that I think about it all of the above would make for a nice package ! As you said, this is a good time to turn disaster into more power!

PS When you get it back together don't let that guy drive it again !!

I don't believe that Arrow will perform ANY mods to the engine while they have it. They will return it to you (likely) stronger than it was when they got it, but not modified.
