Harmonic balancer replacement needed? - 03/29/04 05:01 AM
chevy 230 l6. Stock. The following are all questions. My harmonic balancer needs to be replaced i think because the timin mark is on the other side of where it should be wehn i strobe it. The light is on cylinder one when I strobe. I will need to set tdc manually and then replace the balancer or replace the rubber grommet between the pulley and the balancer. I have not done this since my days in mechanic shop class in college and even then it was on a F*rd 6 cyl and even then it was on a engine stand and not in the car. is there some rubber between the HB and the pulley that wears out? So can I just replace that? or should i order a new harmonic balncer? does anyone know the procedure for removal of the Harmonic Balancer?
what to look for. I understand there is a key and a specific way it needs to go on????
i.e remove the radiator then fan blade then pulley then pull balancer with puller. and reinstal with balancer installer and reverse order etc...
engine is a 6cyl 230 all stock aside from the fact that it is a 230 and not a 194.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
