I just burned about 6 hrs and 2 wheel pullers removing my harmonic balancer. I got frustrated and stopped being as careful as I should have been but I finally got the damn thing off. However, I’m pretty sure I ruined it in the process.
So I’m just trying to figure out the pros and cons of different size/styles of balancers. I’m not even sure I’m using the proper term as I’ve seen em referred to as dampeners, under drive pulleys, balancers. Just to be clear I’m talking about the pulley on the crankshaft that’s hard as hell to remove. What I can tell is it basically powers all your accessories and balances the crank shaft. So choosing a different size would take power from the accessories and give it to the crank??? I know there’s a lot more to it but I’m just checking I got the fundamentals correct. I’ve got a cam/tune and a couple other mods. Would it be beneficial for me to go with something other than stock?
Just trying to get a little better understanding of things. Thanks for any info.
