L98 knock ---- Possible balancer bad?
Hello, one member wrote me that a harmonic balancer may cause a knock sound. Anybody have history of this? My knock is not loud when cold, but is loud when hot.
Is there an easy way to spot a bad balancer?
Thanks!

A bad balancer is usually easy to spot just before it flies off!

Your timing marks will probably be off or inconsistent.
Yes it can cause a knock. Drive it too much and it can cause a bang. btdt.

Here is a video of what mine (l83) sounded like before the balancer went.
