Harmonic Balancer Damage
Posted: Tue Dec 03, 2013 9:01 pmI know it is not an Escort but repairing the Celica myself saves money that gets spent on the Escort so bear with me!
I have been changing the crank, camshaft and oil pump seals in the Celica (ST184 with 5S-FE motor). When trying to get the harmonic balancer off I have managed to crack off about a 2 inch section of the lip of the balancer. It is only about 3mm radially of the lip gone but I am concerned that it may put the balancer out of balance and cause vibrations. What do you think?????
