B230F 240 harmonic balancer coming apart? or not? 200 1986

posted by  someone claiming to be B.C. with no cookies on  Tue Feb 1 18:45 CST 2005 [RELATED]

The harmonic balancer, aka vibration dampener, on my 1986 244 is squealling and slipping - voltmeter shows it - but my "shop" leaks in the rain and it's been 30 to 45 degrees outside, so there's a delay in replacement.

I have a replacement, got from Nick Choy via ebaY, so I'm sure it's OK, but it is used. I have never seen a brand new one.

Question is: The front of the pulley portion is out from the rubber and the center part by about 1/8 inch. On the back, all three parts are flush.

When I saw that the one on the car has that 1/8 inch offset, I worried that the balancer was coming apart. But the other on I have looks the same. So - is that offset the way they are supposed to be?

Your response will be appreciated greatly.

Thanks in advance,

Bob (same old Bob, but cookies won't let me login)
