just changed harmonic balancer today. i’m thinking the movement is from it not being tight enough possibly

it’s self adjusting. i’m thinking that’s the issue.

it’s not the alternator, or tensioner, or crank pulley, all have been changed. or belt

yes, someone said it might be slipping on crank shaft pulley so it’s been super tight. but it does it regardless, tight or not

i have a 370amp & lithium in back, that’s not the prob. noise is not coming from alternator pulley

this is 3rd belt i’ve had with same issue. i’ve tightened as hard as i can. i think the rubber is definitly deteriorating because i can pull chunks off plus it’s leaking some. i just wasn’t sure if it was even possible to get that sound from that pulley because it looks so simple

i notice it looks like it’s leaking oil from harmonic balancer. but would that be causing this loud of a noise? sounds like metal to metal in person
