Harmonic Balancer fitment

:doh: The 258 (4.2l) Harmonic balancer will not fit on the 242 (4.0l). :smack: The groves for the serp belt do not line up. :frustrated:

This is a picture of the 258 HB on my 242. If you look close you can tell that the groves do not line up.

That 4.0L balancer also doesn't have that 'bevel' on the front of it... Besides the grooves being too far forward.
