a mass of balanced steel bolted onto the front end of the crank shaft for a smoother running engine
mass of steel that is well balanced and keeps a engine from running rough ,or shakey
Harmonic balancers have nothing to do with engine overheat conditions.
harmonic balance has left hand thread
Because the timing is advanced.
Yes.
possably it could be out of time.
which way do you turn the harmonic balancer bolt on a 95 geo tracker to loosen it
you buy a pulley grabber kit, make sure you get one large enough to fit over the harmonic balance. but be careful not to damage it, harmonic balances are expensive to replace.
Hi the harmonic balance weight prevents the shaft from flexing into an elliptical rotational pattern. staying straight and true and rotating within its axis is the name of the game in drive shaft performance. hope this helps
If you look at the harmonic balance you will see on the front of it a medium size circle. That will be your timing mark.
Left.
check main pulley area bottom by harmonic balance
To the left. Lefty loosy, righty tighty
