It can cause a vibration at different RPMs. If it is wobbling around on the crankshaft it could cause damage to the crankshaft's snout. And a worst case scenario overtime a faulty balancer could break a crankshaft.
A bad harmonic balancer can cause a knocking noise. The harmonic balancer doesn't actually produce the noise, but it can cause the noise in the engine.
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.
Harmonic balancer is bad and will need to be replaced.
No, a rusted harmonic balancer will not prevent the engine from turning over.
Yes if rubber isolator is bad
No, a 350 harmonic balancer will not work on a 4.3L V6 because they have different specifications such as size, weight, and balance. Using the wrong harmonic balancer can cause vibrations, premature wear on engine components, and potential engine damage. It is important to use the correct harmonic balancer for your specific engine.
There is not much you can do with a bad balancer other than replace it with a new one.
With a harmonic balancer puller.
No. The harmonic balancer does exactly what it says. It is to keep the engine from viberating. You need to install a manual oil pressure gauge and run the engine cold and hot to determine if you really have a pressure problem. Most likely you have a bad oil pressure sending unit.
do the harmonic balancer have a seal for anti-freezer
Harmonic balancer replace
Depends on how bad it is....but I wouldn't advise driving it at all. A bad harmonic balancer can distort the front end of the crank and beat the main bearings to pieces. You are looking at creating a lot more damage if you continue to drive it.
