Harmonic Balancer Options

[Angel50366]

Recently the awful noises my car tends to make got much much worse and we have come to the conclusion that my harmonic balancer is shot because the noise comes from there and u can see it moving back and forth. What I would like to know is if I can just replace it with a pulley or if I need a new one. Also Im doing a 6 bolt swap in a couple months, if I can just buy a pulley, will it work on the 7 and the 6 bolt? Thanks

I recently replaced mine on the 7 bolt GSX...

mine gave no warning before letting go.

one day I just pulled out on the road and bam... it busted.
it also tore up a belt in the process, while I was in there I just replaced all of the belts.

I replaced mine with a part from the dealer and it seems to me that payed a little over $100 for mine also.

I am not sure if the balancer from the 7 bolt interchanges to the 6 bolt.

but it was a very easy fix... about 45 min worth of work from start to finish.

although, ever since then I have had a terrible belt squeel on startup.... probably due to me not getting proper belt tension on one of the belts.
