What balancers do you use - Page 2

I just had my ATI rebuilt. Actually it was sent in to get a different durameter (sp?) isolater ring for a higher RPM going from Stock to SS. After ten years of use it was in perfect condition. I also saw that episode of Pinks. I knew immediately it was a balancer ring. Get what you pay for!

Fluidamper is heavier than most; does not work well in all applications either. There is an SAE paper on racing balancers and Fluidamper was not that good in dampening the harmonics and/or preventing crank flex.

ATI here. Our last engine had over 227 passes on it and if I didn't know any better I would've put the bearings back in it.

Fluidamper, no problems, 468 cu in, 13 to 1 compression, 4 seasons.

I run Ati and fluid dampner-No engine issues with either. But the Ati is harder to get off-Tightest balancer I have ever run even after honed some.

ATI on our pontiac engines.No bearing issues,hundreds of passes.Although we have one pontiac 400 that sits in the corner waiting for a rebuild that has a TCI rattler on it that has about 800 passes on it,1 set of bearings at about 300 passes,and that was a waste of money because they looked almost new.
