yes but minor honing maybe required I believe. Do you need one for a 90-91? I have a spare in excellent condition

I picked up a Dorman LT5 balancer from Rock Auto last year for that price and it turned out to be knock off made in China. The inner hub casting appeared very rough as though the mold it came from was taken directly off an OEM LT5 balancer and the rubber was not a continuous piece from a circular mold but cut from a strip with the ends not even proply joined. Needless to say it failed to inspire my confidence and this is the main reason why I sent the original OEM balancer I still had out to Dale Manufacturing to be rebuilt. If anyone wants it they can have the unused Rock Auto Dorman balancer for $50 shipped.

I'm sure they will be beating your door down for this part after your glowing review :D

A lot of times you sure get what you pay for.

Even with NOS your have to be concerned about the effects of age on the rubber.

which is why I went with the ATI. For the price of a nos I think it is the better deal for me.
