HARMONIC BALANCER

[BillDentin@aol.com]

Amici:

What is the consensus on TR engines and the HARMONIC BALANCER?

We have always run a Harmonic Balancer.  Lately they have been cracking.  Two
have cracked in the same spot (at the keyway).  We suspect we may be using the
wrong torque spec.

Others are using a variation of the MGB narrow V Belt pulley set up, which is
not harmonic, but has a rubber damper.

We suspect this is a near critical consideration on the sixes, and very
desireable component on the fours.

Any comments?
