The bolt was incorrectly tensioned.
In most cases the crank pulley bolts to the balancer so the crank pulley would not be the same as the harmonic balancer.
check harmonic balancer. check harmonic balancer.
I would contact the local parts store and replace the harmonic balancer if you think it is bad. a bad balancer can cause failure in the crankshaft bearings because of the shake.
Easiest way is with an air impact. There are strap clamps available that would go around the harmonic balancer that would hold it while the bolt was tightened.
yes but why?.......
YES it can, but the engine would vibrate and shake if it did.
The balancer has a piece of rubber that holds it together, The balancer is made of two pieces with rubber in the middle, and the rubber is coming apart. REPLACE BALANCER. The Pulley that's bolted on the balancer may be bent or not on stright and flush on the balancer, That would make the balancer look like its wobbleing too.
If it is a 2.3 L 4 cylinder engine, the timing and balancer belt should be changed at 105,000 miles. I would suggest changing the water pump, camshaft and balancer seals at the same time.
yes, as long as the 1992 accord is also an automatic
The balancer is made of 2 pieces That have a rubber piece in the center of them that hold the balancer together. If the balancer comes apart YES it will knock / make noise and the engine would vibrate/shake. You would be able to move 1 piece of the balancer with your hand if that was the case. Check it.
The oil leak is probably comming from the top of the oil pan there is a rubber gasket that goes between the oil pan and the water pumb which would make it look like its comming from the harmonic balancer, try replacing the oil pan gasket this should fix the problem. New answer: There is a small round oil seal / Harmonic balancer seal that fits in the timing cover and the balancer slides through the center of it. That is probley were your oil leak is. Most of the time the balancer itself gets a groove wore in it over time from that rubber seal running on it. You can repair the balancer by buying a Harmonic balancer repair sleeve/ speedy seal. Also replace the front timing cover seal.
If you put the wrong harmonic balancer on theres probly a 99% chance your going to damage the internal parts of your engine such as bearings ect.. most harmonic blancers run around the 75 % mark brand new so its worth it to get a new one if yours is begging to fail
