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

[Greg Taylor <amundaza@xxxxxxxxx>]

The unit from Kennedy is most likely a remanned unit ... perhaps from Damper Doctor.

  Bruce, the repair sleeve isn't likely to fix your problem. It's more for a worn crank than a worn balancer. There is a thin rubber section between the pulley part of the balancer and the balancer hub. Yours has more than likely deteriorated to the point it's no longer doing it's job, and could come apart. I say this due to the age of the balancer. Damper Doctor will remove the old rubber and replace it with a similar, newer synthetic material that will most likely last longer than the original. $100 for a rebuilt one (after sending the old one) is a good deal -- or give Kennedy $149. You'll probably spend $20-$25 on shipping both ways, but what can you do with one that's about to come apart? The pulley ring could come off and go through a hood or radiator -- I'd seen it happen before!
