Chevrolet Caprice Harmonic Balancer
The Harmonic Balancer in Chevrolet Caprice cars is responsible for balancing the engine as well as absorbing vibrations which arise from combustion. This component, also known as a vibration damper, is comprised of a metal hub bolted to the crankshaft, an inner metal inertia ring and an outer rubber ring that oscillates to oppose the twisting produced by the crankshaft. A properly working harmonic balancer helps in proper running of an engine, whereas, wearing away of rubber due to its aging or other effects such as physical or chemical injuries can cause very high level of vibration which may even affect the crankshaft. Chevrolet Caprice manufactures have used several types of the harmonic balancers ranging from original factory ones to performance ones throughout the model's existence. Whereas conventional balancers are prescribed for factory-engine ratings, performance harmonic balancers are for upgraded engines, shielding more complicated dynamics and elevated rpm vibrations. These performance options include conventional, high viscosity, and multi-lobe patterns which are safety tested at high RPM and which have other attributes as 360 degrees crankshaft timing provision.

Chevrolet Caprice Harmonic Balancer Parts Questions & Experts Answers
- Q: How can the harmonic balancer be checked and balanced to eliminate vibration in V6 engine on Chevrolet Caprice?A: This procedure applies only to 231 cu in V6 engines, where the harmonic balancer can be checked for vibration and balanced to eliminate any vibration. To determine the engine speed at which a vibration occurs, use a tachometer. Place a small amount of body putty or similar material on the inside surface of the fan driving pulley, then run the engine at the speed during which the vibration occurred and note if it persists. Use varying amounts of putty and repeat the procedure until the vibration is decreased. When the vibration is considerably decreased or eliminated, mark the hole drilled in the balancer that is nearest to the putty. Cut a piece of 7/16 in iron rod to approximately a 1/2 in length and, using a chisel, upset a small amount of material on the side of the rod piece. Install the rod piece in the previously marked hole, and if necessary, install additional pieces of rod in the balancer until the vibration is gone.
