[FC] Harmonic balancers....

[Merv Krull]

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?
