<VV> Arcing wires in the dark

[FrankCB at aol.com]

Daniel,
    Why not just run a few stripes of  conductive paint (aluminum paint?) 
across the rubber separator so that it  touches both the inner core and outer 
metal parts?

Never  before thought on this fact which must happen on dry weather only. The 
outer  part of the harmonic damper is isolated from the engine body by the 
bonding  rubber and rubbing against the belt all the time, acumulating static  
electricity. If the outer portion of the dampener becomes close enough (we  
know it happens) to the timing housing the sparking will  occur.
Worst scenario: Dry weather + outer edge of dampener  too close to engine + 
fuel pump leak... ????

PS.  Will solder a small copper wire between both parts of dampener in all my 
 vairs... just in case.
