Harmonic Balancer - Crankshaft Pulley

Crankshaft Sprocket

CAUTION:The crankshaft, the crankshaft sprocket and the pulley are fitted together by friction, with diamond washers between the flange faces on each part. For that reason, the crankshaft sprocket is also unfastened if you loosen the pulley. Therefore, the engine must be retimed each time the damper is removed. Otherwise, severe damage could occur.
