Harmonic Balancer

[StevenN]

Hi All

My surf has developed a twittering noise when on idle or low revs.
I don't think its the belts as they seem fine.
I have looked on here and the Aussi Forum and the usual culprit is the Harmonic Balancer.
A few people say that this a repairable item if not a bit hard to remove but my questions are as i look at the crank pully I can't see anything that looks rubber. do I have one on a KZN130 engine?

also is it repairable or what is the most cost effective replacement?
and what will happen if i do nothing?

Thanks

Steve

Buy a replacement - quick

Mine was twittering, by the time I changed it, it had chewed through the timing belt cover. Was lucky as a large peice of cover was nearly off and would have been big enough to damage timing belts.

While the fronts off think abouth new water pump at the same time. I didn't and had to take it all apart again few weeks later

ps the rubber bit isn't visible from the top, only when pully's off.

Erm

I may be wrong but I thought the Harmonic Balancer was a 2.4 part, and didn't reside in the 3.0 litre.

Thanks for the info, but where is the best place to obtain a replacement?


Thanks again

Last time this came up, it was declared that the 3.0 didn't have one....

Well its back to the drawing board then.

I will have to recheck the belts.

you know what its like though, you look for a problem hoping its expensive like a £100+ pully then you find you don't have that type.

I will give the bonnet a kiss when I get home

They have a crankshaft pulley just like the 2.4 so why wouldn't it also be the same as a 2.4 and also act as a harmonic balancer. Without one the crankshaft would destroy itself.

EM-73 clearly shows a Crankshaft Pulley.

oh bugger?????????

We need someone with a 3.0ltr who has changed one.

I have emailed Roughtrax to ask if they do a pulley to fit.

I will post the reply when I get it

13408-67020 is the part number. Look here - http://www.google.com.au/url?sa=t&so...ZXPAWkLHc08MUA - at page 26 and the prado with the 1KZ-TE Engine and the HB1132-N which is the Harmonic Balancer for this engine.

I wasn't saying there was no crankshaft pulley, Nev, just that it has previously been stated that it's not got the harmonic balancer as in the the 2LTE (and that I couldn't find where it is in the engine manual). Your part number is correct

The rubber is inside it by the way Steven.

Jesus, did you see the price for the pulley on that Aussie parts list? AU$393. That's extortionate!!

I believe it's over £200 here.....
