<VV> harmonic balancer inspection?

[Ray Rodriguez III]

Hi,

     I've had two harmonic balancers come apart on me in the past, fortunately I wasnt too far from home either time.  While pulling my engine out just now my eyes settled on the harmonic balancer and I had vivid flashbacks.....

     I can't afford to replace the thing "just in case"...   I was wondering if there is any trick to inspecting these things to see if they are gonna fail any time soon....  I've got two of them, but both are in typical used condition.
