I was wondering if the front crankshaft snout of all LSx motors are the same.

Basically I am wondering if the balancers are interchangeable. I know ls1/ls6 are and ls3/ls7, lsa/ls9, etc
And I know the dry-sump engines are exceptions so that's not my concern.

I see that the GM balancer bolt will work for the ls1 through lsa engine though so that's a good sign, but I wanna know if the diameter of all LSx crank snouts are the same. And yes, i do know different cars have the balancers sit at varied depths to work with specific accessories.

My goal is just to know if an LSA balancer will fit on a LS6 crank. Simple as that.
