Chevrolet El Camino Harmonic Balancer
Chevrolet El Camino has a component in the engine compartment known as the Harmonic Balancer, it plays an essential role in balancing the engine and especially for absorbing vibrations produced as a result of Combustion process. The third component of the mechanism is usually called a vibration damper and includes a metal hub with a fastening NGOs crankshaft, an internal metal and a thick inertia ring and an outer rubber ring due to the possibility of its deformation. This design assists in reducing the twisting motion of the crankshaft hence promoting proper operation of the engine. Through the Chevrolet El Camino years, it has used different kinds of Harmonic Balancers starting from the normal OE and others in performance. The ordinary balancers will be suitable for factory-tuned engines, however, for modified engines, which endure greater oscillations, added protection is generally required. The Performance Harmonic Balancers built with traditional viscous fluid and multi piece constructions which are specially designed to withstand high RPM power and able to protect modified Chevrolet El Camino engines.

Chevrolet El Camino Harmonic Balancer Parts Questions & Experts Answers
- Q: How to Remove and Install the Harmonic Balancer in V8 engine on Chevrolet El Camino?A:If the engine has been removed from the car, disregard the following steps which do not apply. Loosen the alternator, power steering pump, and air conditioning compressor as required to relieve tension on the drive belts. Remove the cooling fan and the radiator shroud. Remove the drive belts, noting the installed positions of each. Remove the fan pulley from the water pump shaft. Remove the accessory drive pulley from the harmonic balancer, then remove the retaining bolt at the center of the harmonic balancer. Install a special harmonic balancer remover to the balancer and carefully draw it off the Crankshaft, ensuring not to drop it as it breaks free; a common gear puller should not be used as it may separate the outer portion of the balancer from the inner hub, so only a puller that bolts to the inner hub should be utilized. Before installing the harmonic balancer, coat the front cover seal area on the balancer with engine oil. Place the balancer in position over the key on the crankshaft, ensuring the balancer key way lines up with the key. Using a harmonic balancer installer, draw the balancer onto the crankshaft, as this tool distributes the draw evenly around the inner hub. Remove the installation tool and install the harmonic balancer center retaining bolt, torquing to specifications. Follow the removal procedure in reverse order for the remaining components and adjust the tension of the various belts as needed.
