Harmonic balancer bolt and washer
I just bought a 06 coupe LS2 had it for 2 hours and took it to my buddy who has his own shop, He took one look at it and said take it back and have them fix the Harmonic balancer. It has 100,000 miles on it and dealer agreed to fix. They have balancer and new bolt but are waiting for washer and something else.
I have looked up bolt and washer and see it is for the LS2 but they want true GM parts. So it is going on 1 1/2 weeks and they are still looking.
I see some GM parts for this are crap and i do not want to have to do this again.
Anyone know if washer needs to be new and where to find one, If that is the case. I only see a bolt on some posts.

Too bad they are going with another GM HB. You might find yourself repeating all of this down the road.

The HB bolt and washer come in different configurations based on the GM PN, or if it is an aftermarket bolt. The last one I did was a one piece bolt w/fixed washer. The landing on the washer is coated with a prefix loctite.

The GM dealer near me said they would install any HB I wanted, but they would not give me a warranty on it....If I ever need another balancer I sure as hell won't go with a GM replacement..My car has had 2 of the GM balancers already in 78,000 miles , Im not making the same mistake the previous owner did......WW
