Did you get the problems with the harmonic balancer issues sorted?
Ive had to remove the harmonic balancer on my kit car due to space & having to replaced with a solid ally pulley, not really a great idea but didnt have much choice, Got the engine dynamically balanced which hopefully stabilize things abit

[Jon Fuller]

The harmonic balancer is actually more of a damper than a balancer, it stops longitudinal (rotational) harmonics. it does the same job as when you gently touch your finger on a ringing tuning fork, and damp out the ring. not sure it's a good idea running without one, but I guess if you have no choice.... result if it fails will be a fractured crank.

The newer Steyr's have a fluid filled (viscous) harmonic damper (old one was a two part solid thing with rubber between the parts, it was the rubber that failed before).

Hopefully the new style is better.

Eek that cracked crank doesnt sound good,

Do you know if theres any options to 'retro fit' a harmonic balancer to the ally pulley?

Thanks for those Jon, looks beautiful in there!! I can never understand why some people spend all they've got on a race boat, then just throw it together and wonder why they have problems.

I like to keep things as simple as physically possible, just what you've got there! Lovely!

Cheers, James
