[DeTomaso] harmonic damper / balancer

[Larry Finch]

 All.

A fellow owner is replacing his harmonic balancer. The new one in hand is lighter than the OEM unit.

Is the actual weight of a Cleveland harmonic balancer of any importance?

I know the flywheel is offset weighted on our cars. I know the flywheel can be lightened.

So I am leaning towards the conclusion that as long as it is a Cleveland-designed balancer, the weight is not of concern.

Yes?  No?

Thanks,

Larry
