Well heres the problem when i went out today to check the fluids in my car i noticed that the crank pulley and balancer have a wobble to them. There is no noise or anything but it has me worried. There is no oil leaking from the front seal from what i can see and the oil level doesnt drop. So my question is do you think its the balancer making it do this or is the crank bent.
Most likely the rubber material in the damper is coming loose,if so get a new damper right away.Also check the bolt holding the damper to the crankshaft.
Thats what i thought too and when i got it off today the rubber was almost all out on one side. I had too order one so my camaro's gonna be sitting for a while , But anyway thanks.
Mine does the same thing, but only at idle. It's got less than 1000 miles on it. Do they normally wobble a little at idle? Could it be just the whole engine wobbling at idle? Sorry to jack the thread, but it seems like a relevant place to put this

The pulley/balancer should never wobble...period. If it does, then there is something wrong.

Less HP than you would want to shake a stick at.
How could it be messed up? Could I just have gotten an defective unit? It came already on my GMPP 350 crate motor.
if u keep driving it like that, your crankshaft will be trash, or a rod could snap. Had that same problem, then it started knocking from the bottom. Good Thing I broke the engine down before something else happen, just needed a new crank. Like 2_point8_boy, and Maxboost....

id definetly have that engine checked out, but make sure that GMPP is gonna cover the bill for having it checked and, if needed, replaced. better be making a phone call tomorrow dude. good luck
Hey guys sorry I havent come back to post in a while Iv been really busy. I got the new harmonic balancer on and eveything seems good and theres no wobble. Cost me 79.00$ from autozone for a new balancer and everything went back together smoothly. Thanks for the help with figuring it out.
, But anyway thanks.
