Enigmus, I've got a question for you. In your DIY writeup you said to give the crank bolt a good tug clockwise, yet your picture of the breaker bar has the arrow pointing counter-clockwise. So is the crank bolt a standard thread (lefty-loosie, righty-tighty) or is it a reverse thread bolt with righty being loosie?

It is standard and turn COUNTERclockwise. He seems to be as confused as my wife that still mixes up left and right

Most of the time you don't feel any difference in vibration. But rod bearing wear CAN be impacted due to 2nd wave harmonics. You can't feel them, but they impact the crank, and is the reason OEMs use a harmonic balancer in the first place. I hate the OEM balancers, they seem to slip out of "time" and the timing marks wander off their marks with mileage and abuse. But everyone should know the advantages and disadvantages of using a solid one. |

Here's a trick I learned while working for Pontiac. Since I don't have my BRZ yet I have no way of knowing if this will work because I don't know if or what type of under-pans there might be in the way, but on the older Pontiac V-8's you can take a 1/2" drive breaker bar with an air gun type deep well 6 point socket and place the socket on the crank bolt and turn the crank clockwise until the breaker bar rests against the floor, pull the coil wire and tap the engine over with the starter, loosens the crank bolt!

The rotating assembly of the engine is balanced independently of the clutch/flywheel/harmonic balancer. Individual components are balanced separately to a zero tolerance. Engines these days are not "externally" balanced with the flywheel/damper. |

The other holes are balance holes, because this factory pulley is cast it requires balancing. |

No, I meant zero. You would literally have to spin the harmonic balancer to speeds that would cause it to separate before you saw even an ounce of variance from zero.
So for all intents and purposes, it's a zero tolerance. I'm sure you could nitpick fractions of an ounce at 9000rpm, but that's pointless. |

So.... If the device to weigh the items was accurate down to 0.001 grams that leaves an error of margin of +/- 0.0005. Which is not zero. I agree the tolerance are so fine as to not to matter but they are not zero. Please forgive me; I am a pedant. |

We could go as far as to measure the number of quarks and bosons that make up the pulley, but it's pointless right? Measured in grams, it should balance out. Of course, after a few thousand miles that could change things. |
