Red motor harmonic balancer

[Dave_EH]

Do all red motors have Harmonic balancers?

I notice a friend's 186 has a large balancer that sits in front (radiator side) of his crank pulley.

Mine just seems to have a crank pulley... whats the go?

Cheers

Dave,

This extra pulley is most likely for power steer or air con. There are also better quality harmonic balancers available for high performance applications.

Some guys even used to adapt bigger balancers off other cars.

Could you post a photo?

Cheers,

Craig.

Dave,

Here is a rough snap of the standard balancer for standard engine (skinny) and a large modified balancer for a modified engine (fat plus). The standard balancer may have another pulley attached to it.

Best regards,

Steve.

The extra pully just bolts to the harmonic balancer in the 3 bolts normally used to remove the balancer.
