FWIW, the balancer on my BJ8 was cracked and looked tired but we used it anyway
when we rebuilt the engine about 80K miles ago. Still running fine.
The risk is the balancer coming apart, but I've never heard of that happening.

Subject: [Healeys] Harmonic Balancer
I am getting my 67 BJ-8 motor cleaned up to paint before I put it back in the
car.I noticed the harmonic Balancer looked a little tired.The rubber looks
dried up,it's still all there but it has cracks.My question to the list is,what
damage would be done to leave it alone?It looks as though it would be a job to
remove it and a replacement is around $350.
As always any and all info would be helpful.
Thanks Don
67BJ-8 still under re-construction
