[FC] Harmonic balancers....

[Paul Steinberg]

If it isn't broke, then why mess with it.  The balancers were neccessary when GM went to the larger displacement engines to smooth out vibrations.  If you don't have a problem, why spend the money?  Paul in CT

  Hi All!

  Just wondering.... is a harmonic balancer a good idea for all Corvair engines or are there some engines that it would actually be a problem?

  The ever so smooth running car engine that was transplanted into my GB has a YN in the code to make it a 61 98 hp or a 62 102 hp or a 63 102 hp or a 64 110 hp. 

  It has a draft tube, but the shroud has a patch over the pcv hole and the balance tube between the carbs  has the pcv nipple covered. That rules out the 61 and 62 versions (maybe).

  It has a solid pulley, which makes it a 61 or 62 cuz the 63s all had harmonic balancers.

  Like some folks have already pointed out, I need to read the numbers on the heads to be sure.

  But back to the question. Should I leave the solid pulley on or order a new harmonic balancer?
