Re: [Amc-list] Harmonic Balancer not terribly balanced - repairs or replace?

[JOE FULTON <piper_pa20@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

You can have a balancer rebuilt.  Contact Damper Doc
or Damper Dude (do a Google search).  I think the cost
is around $100 plus postage.  The cost could have gone
up.  I used Damper Doc to rebuild the balancer on a
199 six several years ago.

If the balancer is wobbling I think the repair sleeve
might not solve your problem.

Since a new balancer is only a few dollars more than a
rebuilt balancer, you might want to consider a new
one.
