Hi to all.

I would think a bad balancer would be more of a vibration than a rumble, however if it is bad the timing marks may be off and the timing may be advanced. I'm not really sure. Most of my engine work has included a new balancer.

 

Sounds like good advice to me---a new balancer it is. Vibration is probably a better desciption for what is going on there any way. I will consider it an investment and carry it over when we rebuild and can afford a better head and intake for it.

Thanks again.

from Wilkes Barre, Pa. good luck with your project.

 

O'reilly's doesn't have and can not get a harmonic balancer for the 250 six cylinder. Any ideas?
