Default C5 Harmonic Balancer Problem Diagnosis Video

I have heard harmonic balancer issues are a common problem on corvettes. I have had my C5 for 5 years and thought I had better find out for sure if my harmonic balancer is good or NOT. Made a quick video of the diagnosis as this really is pretty easy to conclusively diagnose. Hope it helps some.

Thanks for the feedback - I appreciate it. Did it implicate your HB as the problem or clear it?

Helpful video. I too can see a very slight wobble in my 2001 harmonic balancer. I will do the check of the front of the balancer including the white shoe polish trick.
