Hey guys Happy new year to all of you.....
Ok here is the thing, about a month ago a weird noise was coming out of the belt tensioner,so i headed to the local shop and bought a new BT and also new belt,i think the problem got solve at that point.

So this morning i started my 91 and there goes again the rattling noise coming out of the new belt tensioner, i took a closer look and notice that the Harmonic balancer was dancing all over, took a closer inspection on the 4 bolts, they were not the problem (not loose) at this point only 2 things came to my mind,HB sometimes can crack or separate, right.?..how dificult is for a diesel amateur like myself to remove the HB? a closer and deeper inspection at this point is a must....thanks for your help and time.. Gilberto

 

There are four bolts that fasten the HB to the crankshaft snout. Very easy to remove as it's not pressed onto the shaft like a SB 350 for example.

 

yep exactly. four bolts and it slides right off

 

well...!i think i found the problem,The rubber does not look good at all, but that's not all, Apparently there's a good chance that a crack that has been developed between 2 of the 4 bolt holes......

any ideas guys?? how much is a new damper? where can i look for one....thanks.

 

I know some of our sponcors can get you a replacment from a stocker to an aftermarket performance one!

 

will it be a big, big, big difference money-wise going from a stock one to the Performance one.... gilberto
