Re: Is this the end? OTM question

Glad it looks 'do-able'! $100 to get back to a running vehicle is sweet compared to where you feared, that's for sure. Sometimes good things do happen ;-)

Update us; apparently there's NOTHING Miata related happening on the planet ;-(

the harmonic balancer (pulley) for a '94 camry appears to be about $80 from www.rockauto.com, but there are several possible engines in the '94 so take a look on their site for yourself.
i wonder if the pulley is ok and the tip of the crank is actually bent or if the pulley was held on by two opposing screws and one screw fell out so it is sitting on an angle... if it was held on by two screws then the missing one may have been sheered off making it necessary to tap out the old one... ugh.

The last harmonic balancer replacement was on my first first Datsun Z. It had the engine pointed in the correct position and was easy to get to after taking off the mechanical fan.

I heard it squealing and making weird noise one day and pulled over. That harmonic balancer was almost all the way off and had pressed the fan into the Radiator enough to leave a swirly fan pattern, it actually looked kind of cool and never affected the cooling that I could notice.

It also got me home without throwing the belt.

Anyway, it was an easy replacement job after taking the fan off, plenty of room after that.

Now, about 18 years later, here is harmonic balancer replacement #2........
