<VV> Fwd: Harmonic Balancer / Solid Pulley on 140

[shortle]

Matt, Even though you are an "engineer type" I would not second guess the engineers GM had in the '60s. Especially on such a critical part. Since it was stated money was an issue, I would put a new rebuilt balancer on this engine. Much cheaper than the cost of a broken crankshaft.
