I have a "non" stock TR engine. It's balanced, overbored (+.040),
and has a hot cam (BFE's autocross cam). The flywheel's been
lighteded the head has been shaved I estimate my compression to be
somewhere around 10x1. The car is a summertime daily driver and
occasionally driven in the winter, when it's not too sloppy out.
Last year, I noticed my fan pedestal had a bit of a wobble at idle.
After determining that it wasn't a broken crank shaft (whew) I
decided to replace the assembly with BFE's harmonic balancer. The
kit comes with the lower pulley/harmonic balancer, a pulley for the
water pump, new seal for the timing chain cover, a special washer,
bolt, and vee belt. What I needed to get was a replacement gasket
for the timing chain cover and pulley to replace the Triumph pulley
that was on the Ford alternator on the car.
