The internal combustion engines that power our cars rely on an extensive series of interconnected parts, mechanical systems, and electronics to send us down the road. Some of those components are well ...

Obtaining perfect balance is important to your engine's performance. The harmonic balancer reduces torsional vibration of the crankshaft, which is the motion naturally generated during each power ...

Engineers design modern engines to survive huge forces, yet one small part can still fail with violent results. When a crankshaft damper lets go at speed, metal fragments can slice through belts, ...

“A repair sleeve will fix the end of your harmonic balancer. No need to buy a new one,” Bob Becker said. I had to be persuaded. A new part almost always sounds better to me than a repaired part. The ...

QUESTION: My friend Sammie has been nursing along a 1989 Pontiac Bonneville with a 3.8 liter engine that has what her mechanics call a “bad harmonic balancer.” As I understand them, these devices are ...

Your engine is supposed to vibrate, just a little. But when the shaking gets harder to ignore, there’s probably something ...
