very true.

I think it is at $12 for a reconditioned balancer. It has 2 or 3 ramps on it. It is in excellent shape. Might be able to steal it in ebay!

Has anyone heard or experienced a crank pulley coming apart?

Had my pulley do the same thing. Managed to get another from Danny's datsuns. I really have never, over the time of owning three different early 240's, had that happen to me before. Now it's all moot because I'm putting an L-28 in, although I'll use that pulley to replace the oversized pulley from the 280ZX. Hopefully, I'll be putting the car back on the road sometime in the early spring. :classic:
