| SUITABILITY FOR REBUILDING |
One of the most commonly asked questions from Precision Parts customers relates to the key factors that make a used Harmonic Balancer unacceptable for rebuilding.
There are five simple checks that can be made on used balancers to ensure they are acceptable for rebuilding.
The five problem areas that must be checked on every balancer are:
All components intact
Cracked keyways
Damaged keyways
Broken crank snout
Damaged crank triggers
ALL COMPONENTS INTACT
The used balancer must be complete. That is, both the balancer centre and inertia (outer) ring must be supplied intact. Naturally, damaged or missing rubber is not a concern as every balancer has new dampening rubber installed.

CRACKED KEYWAYS

Balancers with cracked keyways in the crank snout are unacceptable for rebuilding. |
DAMAGED KEYWAYS

|
For a balancer to be suitable for rebuilding the keyway in the crank snout must be free from cracks and in the form it was originally manufactured -
that is, with parallel straight sides and a flat base. Damage to keyways of any kind, from the subtle impact marks shown opposite to the severe fretting also shown opposite are both unacceptable for rebuilding. |
BROKEN CRANK SNOUT

Balancers with severe damage to the crank snout such as chipped cast iron or complete breakage as shown opposite are unacceptable for rebuilding. |
