<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Lionel is right. Don't wait. I have seen
plenty of those come apart and cut right into the filter. You won't know
your in trouble until the oil pressure light comes on and by then it will be too
late - scored bearings and/or seized engine - not good. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV>Jay,....What you see is aged rubber.Rubber has a shelf life of
about 7 yrs.,and it will harden and crack.It basically looses it's
softness,and may distort a little.Out of the 28 Corvair's that I have
had over the years,I have never replaced any of these parts,due to
failure.Save the money.Tires are a different story.They will seperate
due to aging,and fly apart.My personal opinion is to drive as is,and not
worry about these items,especially the balancer.I would recheck,and look
for vibration when engine running.Both items mentioned are designed to
absorb vibration.Hopefully,other members send along input.I have been a
auto tech my entire career.Let see what the arm chair expert's have to
say. Pete Cuipenski, Fanning Springs,Fl. </DIV>

<DIV><BR>I am begining to think about replacing the balancer and the
engine mount on my '67 110. </DIV>
<DIV>The rubber on the mount is dry, cracked and it is slightly
dipped in the center. </DIV>
<DIV>The rubber is cracked on the balancer. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I have attached pictures of the items. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Are there any other signs I should be looking for? <BR></DIV>
<DIV>Does it make sense to replace both of these items at the same
time? </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Just looking for some input, as both items are expensive. </DIV>
