Balancer separation
Any one out here with a FI application (Centrifugal blower) that had a balancer separate. By this I mean the two halves separated or as some put it spun apart. The bolt isn't loose, the serpentine outer pulley separated from the main hub that is attached to the crank. Apparently the rubber bonding material gave up on the last dyno pull, no apprarent damage other than the belt was pretty much wasted.

My buddies Summit brand SFI rated to 10K balancer separated. He limped it home from the track 70 miles. Got it replaced under warranty but wasnt too happy about it. He is at 675 rwhp. The only thing holding it from flying off was the belts. Took the belts off and you could spin in.
