distance between again

i need the distance between the harmonic balancer (grey motor)
and the radiator
a auto would be good not sure if theres much differance?

might be askin too much here but would prefer one that has a red motor type balancer on it

cheers dave

80mm mine runs a rr rrr rrrrr red motor balancer but is a manual not sure but auto cores could be thicker I know they are wider oh and mine runs an EH core but I think (on the rare occasion)that they are the same thickness as standard hope this helps

cheers again

Dave, I've got an EK auto,original balancer,original radiator with grey motor etc here.I'll measure it for you tomorrow arvo when I get home from work if that helps ya.

I've got a feeling ?? the auto's radiator was a poofteenth of an inch thicker than the manual ones

I just went out to the shed and measured mine for ya - its 19'8"

The motors on an engine stand and the radiator is up on the mezzanine

Sorry - its not my fault , its been a long day.

Manual = 72mm from front of harmonic to rad
Auto = 67mm from front of harmonic to rad.
47mm from timing cover to front of harmonic balancer.

cheers blacky

was that the standard balancer or the red motor type?

thanks again

Dave I've just ventured inside from measuring and come up with these figures for the EK Auto I have here with original everything incl the balancer,radiator etc.

Rivets on the centre hub of the harmonic are the closest part to the radiator ( except the fan of course ) and this measurement is 50 mm to the bottom tank-to-core soldered lip joint.

The outer hub is 57 mm from the radiator.

Those dimensions were standard harmonic , measured on a couple of my parts cars. Dont know why its different to Roscos , maybe we need another car measured to see for sure ? I have no idea if all the original bits are fitted to the cars I have here - probably better to use Roscos measurements.

I would have thought the rear engine mounts would dictate where the engine sat
