Hi!
The idea of the manufacturer making a harmonic balancer is to dampen out the vibrations made by the moving parts to promote a smooth running engine at high revolutions for a long-life. Best of luck ! I believe it will not be long before he's heading for a rebuild.

Unsprung balancers are a bad idea on regularly driven vehicles. Now a lighter, sprung balancer is always nice.... but hard to fabricate.

true our balancers are superior to a straight up aluminum piece. even better than ours are fluid dampers.

but these are for built engines, preferably balanced very well (as mine is, and his.)

hes been running the crappy OBX pulley for 3 years, and was tired of not having enough alternator power and his other accessories spinnin so slow. so he got a balancer from me and made a full size.

if your motor is built right, then running this for a period of time shouldnt be a big issue. biggest strain will be on the bearings, and if you get good bearings it wont be and issue for a good amount of time.

but like i said, these wouldnt be a bolt-on for a 20+year old engine. these would be if you have a moderate to highly built motor and have taken all factors into consideration.

the fact that my freind has been running his for so long with NO problems is a testament to that fact.

but i just figured id put this out there for anyone whos interested

that was some great info. i can see the bad effects they are all talking about.

still stands tho, my buddy will get some made if anyone wants one.

like i said hes used his 3 years plus (the obx) in his buggy and he beats the shiz out of it.

anyway, im interested in anyone elses opinions on this subject! especially people who are running obx pulleys (i dont blame anyone for not, ive seen how crappy their quality is

)
