[Healeys] Harmonic Balancer

[Don Day]

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
