Harmonic balencer wobble

My harmonic balencer has a slight wobble like maybe 3mm or so, i probably will replace it soon but i am just wondering if i should stop driving it. There are no bad vibrations that i notice. There is one under hard acceleration at about 3-4000 rpms though but it smooths out.

I would stop driving it. The vibration is bad enough to stuff, but you do not want that thing to come apart at high revs.

You should replace it real soon. I drove mine for a while with a bad balancer. When I put a new one on it made a big difference.

Check out the Professional Products balancer at 50resto.com

It's better than OEM and is only $79.

park it! my buddies went out on him and it took a nice sized chunk out of his timing chain cover. lots-O-Stuff to remove to get the timing chain cover off.
