Replacement Harmonic Balancer?

[ktmall07]

I know there's a difference between the original 33002920  Harmonic Dampener and the newer ones (33002920AB or 33002920AC). Has anyone had any experience with the Crown parts Harmonic Balancer, CRO33002920? Is it factory spec to the old HB or updated one?

 

Getting ready to replace the HB, and I'm comparing options. If anyone has had good luck with aftermarket HB's that haven't needed modification like shearing off the end, or removing the "oil slinger" inside the timing cover, I'd be interested to know it. I'd like to avoid Dorman if at all possible, but I'm willing to consider it if other people have had good luck with theirs.

I have one from NAPA. Though NAPA seems to be carrying Doorman stuff of late. I have used Performance Products harmonic balancer on my '98. I have one for my stroker that will go into the Comanche. They are about $80-$100 though.

ALL parts are a CRAP shoot anymore.

Chinese Replacement Auto Parts. country of origin is the biggest factor.
