Re: Harmonic Balancer

believe its a de-lamintated harmonic balancer. Have timing cover off and belt disconected using the crank mark and mark on the block. puts it at #1 TDC Timing mark on balancer is at about 8o'clock instead of 1o'clock which would be 0.

Harmonic Balancer

When crank is on the crank timing mark the timing mark for the timing cover is approximately at 8oclock as viewed from the front of the motor. Could I have a bad balancer?

Re: if you want affordable 195/75/14 AT/mud tread

Some of the best traction tires I ever used were retread tires with walnut shells in the rubber compound. No longer able to find them but WSP used them for years also!!
