It will bottom out against the crank sprocket.You can't go too far.

 

I'm guessing he is asking because the balancer will not go on far enough.
They go on easier If you warm them up with a heat gun and hang a bag of ice on the crank snout. I also put some anti-seize on the crank just before installing.

 

Until it stops
Distance from the crank snout to the face is .580" & should be pretty close
From the crank to the step where the washer goes is .060 but this may vary a little between damper brands

 

Thanks. I have not tried to install yet, but wanted to know before I went out there tonight.

Put a little RTV on the keyway, both on the balancer and crank. Stops oil from wicking through.
