with the additional load of the blower, the balancers have a habit of slipping on the crank. The only way to inspect it is to pull it off. YOu might want to grab a flashlight and go out and take a look, it might even be ready to fall off.

Did this problem come up all of the sudden or did you do some other mods?

the slower et can be from the shitty short times..... I suspect you have an issue with the balancer if it just came up all of the sudden.

its not the hard to install, its the potential for a damaged crank that might require replacement.

If everything is OK, then you just need to put it back on and buy the pinning kit from Magnuson. The Truck system should come with them IMHO....but what do I know
