Harmonic balancer
Pulled the balancer today, any thoughts on the condition? Looks alittle rough, and rubber seal is cracked? I see there are rebuild kits available?
Thoughts?  LGAFF 92 ZR1 #234 |

Re: Harmonic balancer
No rebuild kits. Clean it up with some emery cloth of maybe a little fine grit sand paper and then paint it. Although get me a better picture of the cracking in the rubber isolator.
And damn your balancer has a lot of pins in it. |

Re: Harmonic balancer
Tried to take a few more shots, but hard to take one thats not blurry, there are a total of 14 pins, three are raised in different partsa of the balancer. The rubber appears to be the same weight all the way around, however, it is cracked much like an old tire.

Re: Harmonic balancer
Doesn't matter if the pins are raised. The hole depth is the same in each position in the balancer, and the pins are all the same length and weight.
Your camera have a macro function? And don't use the flash, use auxiliary lighting. Email me the originals. |

Re: Harmonic balancer
When in doubt throw it out... works for food, anything rubber and a few other things I can think of. With all that cracking if it isn't separated today it will be.
If you think if how much time and money you will put into this engine don't skimp on a balancer. It will only come back to bite you later. Hans

Re: Harmonic balancer
I should be in the low 500hp range when the engine is done.
