Refurbishing a harmonic balancer?
Alright, it was my fault. I was apparently thinking of something other than removing the harmonic balancer on my 390 while doing it, and about pulled the outer ring off the inner piece. The rubber is somewhat messed up to begin with, but this just makes it worse.
I know that with the crank and cam in the correct position, the pointer should point at 0*, so I am sure it can be slid back on, BUT...is there anyone who can replace the rubber insert with a new one, then put the two pieces together properly aligned, or is my only option to basically go with an aftermarket balancer?
I have been looking at the Professional Products FE balancer, but they are 7.5" in diameter rather than 6.5". I have read of troubles with clearance on the timing pointer and the water pump pulley. BTW, I will be running a single groove pulley for alternator only.
So, who can rebuild them? anyone? Or is the bigger aftermarket balancer in my future?
Thanks for any help.
