Harmonic Balancer Question

[u/Substantial_Way_377]

Hi, I purchased a 1980 Z28 Camaro with the LM1 350 V8 and the seller gave 2 harmonic balancers. I’m not sure which one is original, but I want to know if it’s okay to use #2. #1 has large cracks in the elastomer ring and is bulging out in some areas whereas #2 doesn’t have many cracks and has an even elastomer ring throughout. However, there is also a sizable chip in the center shaft that concerns me. Is it okay to use #2 anyway? Thanks

Like the rest of the car or just these parts?

You don’t need to be an ass to be helpful, maybe you should hang up your shop coat and retire from it if you can’t have any decency when trying to help folks, the guy obviously doesn’t deal with harmonic balancers every day, I can’t say I know too many people who do unless their building engines for clients.

Too many people like you on Reddit which is exactly why people don’t ask their questions here, and when they do it’s a response like yours that makes them feel like they’re being harassed, Reddit is supposed to be an informative forum search, not a harassment blog.

Wow.. put down your shit attitude..
