Re: Harmonic balancer

I agree with you that the 135 seems a lot. Anyway, it seems the tractor pull crowd routinely deals with mating engines. There are companies that cater to these guys, http://www.profabmachineinc.com/index.html for example. You can also check with tractor pull vendors.
Also, here are a couple discussions to read through for ideas.

Let us know how it goes.

Thanks,
