td5 harmonic balancer

No, no adverse effects noticed. Harmonic balancers are normally used to counteract engine ancillary harmonics for occupant comfort such as an alternator's vibration that's at odds with the engine harmonics a little above idle, perhaps around 1200-1300 rpm but I couldn't detect any change. If anything, I thought the engine could have been smoother above 2000 rpm.

Do you still have the balancer ring?
If so is the threads ok(or repairable)?
If you find a second hand one check the bearing before fitting,(see link)
I have only clocked a few thousand ks since rebuilding mine but so far so good;)

Yes I still have the ring and I think the threads would be fine as the bolts are still done up properly. I am working on getting a new assembly at the moment but td5 still going strong without that half of the balancer.

I'm guesing running without half of the balancer will be ok for a few weeks until
i build the slush fund up to get a new one ?
