hey guys im gonna get my rotating assembly balanced and i wondering if i should get a new harmonic balancer or use the old one?

if a new one what kind/brand would be best from your experience?

thanks for the feedback

professional products makes a great balancer for a great price. they are like 75 bucks or something from northernautoparts.com

Just remember that the balancer is key to engine longevity, going cheap could result in poor damping capabilities, safe yourself the trouble and by a nice one, ATI is top of the line, there are some others for a little cheaper, anything from 150 up should be a good buy depending on your setup and what you want out of it.

Most shops will only balance if they have a new balancer and a new flywheel/flexplate....

So defenetly dish out some bucks on a good one... do not reuse the old one.

professional products and ATI both have good stuff. Fordstrokers.com has balancers.
heres the thing, u might need a spacer, all depends on car and balancer size. i needed a .95 spacer for my guess what, my sn95 lol.

stroker motor 28oz imbalance, or internal 0 balance.

0 balance ftw, and with a professional products balancer you can remove the weight for a 0 balance or change the weight between 28 and 50 oz depending on your application. the only thing i DONT like is that the timing marks are printed not stamped. I made a small notch @ zero with a file on mine and when the numbers wore off (from me cleaning while the motor was apart) i used a piece of MSD timing tape based off the notch i put in it.
