You sure it hasn't just spun the outer ring of the harmonic (front) balancer?

Im not sure whats actually wrong with it, i havent felt good enough to go down staires and check.
It vibrates really badly and ontop of that it sounds like tin cans being kicked around inside the motor, when i drove it home i could still build boost but it just felt like s**t. Ive done a quick check with the dipstick and theres no metal fillings that i can see so the turbo is safe THANK GOD. Also i picked up a neat little tunning device called a tweecer rt so when i can sort things out ill be using this bad boy to tune my setup. Just need to have a good day without chest pains and feeling weak and ill get things sorted. Brad |

Fair enough, your health absolutely has to come first. Just don't tear it apart before checking the things that are a straightforward fix.

Okay went down staires to have a look at the harmonic balancer as sam suggested and when i turned the motor over by hand i could hear metal rubbing( its dark down in my garage so i couldn't see well).
I decided to check the balancer for the timing marks and as soon as i looked at it the balancer was about 3" moved from the pulley, i moved the balancer around freely with my hand. After wobbling it around for 5 mins laughing at myself for not checking earlier i thought to myself YUP its spun the balancer lol. Anyway does anyone know how much they are for a new one? |

powerbond do nice balancers, they do a street and a race version for the EFI 5L.
i got the 'race' version on mine, from memory was about 220 from VPW. street version, again from a hazy memory, was about 180.

Id like to dyno it but it has a terrible oil leak remember!!!, once thats sorted ive got the tweecer to mess with lol.
Actually theres a heap of work that needs doing to make me 100% happy with it ie redo i/c piping, new petrol tank, radius rod bushes, cai, fix power window regs, relocate batter, fit a top rad filler neck. So theres a fair bit that needs doing BUT if your offering your assistance then it will get done much quicker. |
