What the heck is this?
Being slightly **** about things I decided to replace the stock harmonic balancer as it had a slight wobble. Removed the balancer and seal to find this extra seal on the hub of the oem balancer. Do I need it and why haven't I heard of this part in all the discussions of balancer replacements? The part on the left is the one in question. Thanks

My PowerBond balancer is machined for it, however when looking at video's on harmonic balancers for Ls3 engines I could not find anywhere the "DEW" ( probably wasn't paying attention) Did you mean to say it would be a good idea to pin crank when NOT using one? I will be pinning the crank regardless of using the "DEW".
