Re: Harmonic balancer info

I think some caution should be excised here.
My understanding of the function of the harmonic balancer is that it dampens out torsional vibration in the crankshaft to avoid crankshaft breakage. I am not sure that it affects the engine vibration felt in the car however I am already way out of my depth.
This subject needs some engineering input from someone with specialist expertise in the field.
I am not sure that just fitting a bigger and better harmonic balancer is the way to go.
