oh great ones,
I took an engine from my junk 76 TR6 to the machine shop to see if it was an
acceptable core. After the inspection it was deemed to be a good one. Six
months later, most of the work has been done. While dialing-in the cam
timing, the machinist determined that the scale on the harmonic balancer had
shifted on the pully ( 8-10 degrees). A mark on the flywheel that lines up
with the back engine plate was right on.
I'm not sure that I've heard of this "shift" before. Has anyone else
experienced this? I would assume that the remedies would be to replace or
restore the balancer.
Where might someone have a balancer restored? Is this something that might be
swapped with another used one? Are used ones generally reliable?
Thanks in advance,
Jimmy Richards
