So you can drill and pin your crankshaft, making sure the harmonic balancer won\u2019t move or spin on the crankshaft, throwing off the balance of your rotating assembly. These pin kits can be helpful in both stock and performance applications.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How to Pin the Crankshaft in your 2001-2016 Duramax | XDP Tech Tips\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Ulz4yDMoSR0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re preparing to add an additional pin in your Duramax\u2019s Crankshaft, we have some words of wisdom from our technician Mike, \u201cIt\u2019s a fairly straightforward job. I would recommend making sure you&#8217;re working with the correct tools to properly hold the engine while having to remove and torque the crank bolt. &#8220;I can&#8217;t count how many times I&#8217;ve come across crank bolts not being torqued that cause failure. It can\u2019t be stressed enough that torquing that bolt down is a crucial part of this install.\u201d&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis job is accessible while replacing a water pump, radiator, and anything that would have the fan and shroud removed from the front of the engine. Belts, tensioners, pulleys, etc&#8230;\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Installation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Make sure you have all the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.xtremediesel.com\/manuals\/XD331_XDP_install_print.pdf\">tools<\/a> you need.
