Title: Harmonic Balancer Rebuilding
Post by: Weldar on July 29, 2011, 10:09:05 PM

In the machine shop today and brought in the dampener and after looking it over and discussing with my machinist I believe I'll try to have this thing rebuilt. The rubber looks hard and small pieces have broken away as well. I see a couple companies offering this service, and I'm sure there are more:

www.damperdoctor.com (http://www.damperdoctor.com)

Any experience out there with this process or have some recommendations?

'Damper Dudes' comes to mind.   Best to check with Tom Telesco (Telriv). He'll give you a recommendation.

I have a 455 balanced on mine, but I also had the rotating assy balanced.
