OK, so there was a slight ticking sound after i installed a new AC belt in attempt to get that fixed. The sound has slowly gotten louder over the last month or so. After inspecting a bit, i noticed that the crank shaft pulley "Harmonic Balancer" is wobbling and causing the sound. I took my car to a local car shop for them to trouble shoot my AC (which turned out i need a compressor, drier, and evaporator expansion valve..DOH!!) and to take a quick look at the pulley. The mechanic told me to replace my harmonic balancer.
so the question(s) is...Do these really go bad? do they bend or something? a harmonic balancer is a crankshaft pulley right? thanks in advance. casey This post has been edited by caszboy: Jul 14, 2008 - 6:31 PM --------------------  |

the only problem I can see with tapping the threads on the crankshaft is that it may remove some material and upset the balance of the crank shaft. not good. of all the bolts to crossthread on a car, the previous owner sure picked the most expensive to repair...
