What else can I help you with?
If the rubber gasket on the harmonic balancer is ripped up will this cause a bad knocking noise How do you replace it if need be?
Hard to say. However, if the "rubber gasket" you're talking about is the center bushing on your harmonic balancer, that could throw your Harmonic balancer out of balance. This could easily make it shake to beat the band which in turn could be the knocking noise you're hearing. I suggest you get it looked at immediatly. If that is what happened, your engine won't survive long.

Oil leak from harmonic balancer Chevrolet 350?
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.

What does a bad harmonic balancer sounds like?
A bad harmonic balancer often produces a rattling or clunking noise, especially during engine idle or acceleration. You might also hear a rhythmic thumping sound as the engine runs, which can indicate that the balancer is failing to effectively dampen vibrations. Additionally, if the balancer is severely damaged, you may notice a scraping or grinding noise if the rubber isolator has deteriorated. These sounds can signal that the harmonic balancer needs to be inspected or replaced.
