New harmonic balancer - which brand? (1 Viewer)

[Rick Carroll]

After installing a new oil seal and adding a sleeve to my HM I noticed a slight wobble. It may have always been there - not sure. Anyway I want to get a new replacement. It looks like there a 3 brands Dormans, Dayco and Powerbond. Any comments on which brand is best? Thanks

Is this for your 2015 Chevy LT1 engine, or the 1969 Cummins Diesel?

Had me wondering how there were so many options for a replacement harmonica balancer on a F engine. Not an F engine explains that. Guess I missed the non F series engines Toyota offered on the FJ40.

I don't know what is the best... I got the PB1053N balancer last Sept.

I know @FLMikem recently got one from @cruisermatt - don't know the brand, - His thread below.

Got the Dayco PB1053N from RockAuto. It seems pretty decent. I'm having a hard time installing but I'm 99% sure thats because of me and not the pulley.

OK, thanks

@Rick Carroll so I ended up cleaning the inside of the pulley up a tad. There was a lip the I smoothed out and cleaned up the keyway and it went on like a dream. This was mostly because my stuff was boogered up and the pulley was fine, though.
